History in Photos
1979
Mort Künstler is seen here with famed historian Henry Steele Commager and his wife, Mary, on October 22, 1979 at the opening of a one-man exhibition of Künstler’s work at the Hammer Galleries, in New York City. Entitled “Epic Paintings of America” it also celebrated the release of Künstler’s first book, of the same name, with a text by Professor Commager.
The firelight illuminates the faces of the men as they discuss a high-risk strategy. Other campfires in the background reveal the subtext, the story of the ordinary soldier. …The owner of the painting, [The Last Council], …who is lending it for the exhibition, called Mr. Künstler’s treatment of light uncanny. ‘If the light dims in the room,’ he said, ‘the fire glows brighter. It’s as if the painting is alive,’ he said.
