Morton Künstler 1927 - 2025
Our 97-year-old artist, father, friend, and colleague passed away on February 2, 2025. He had a prolific life and career, yet happily said many times “I never worked a day in my life!” He is missed by all who were lucky to have known him and his paintings.
We greatly appreciate the outpouring of condolence messages and notes. Thank you.
History in Photos
1997
Mort Künstler’s original painting, The Charge at Trevilian Station is unveiled at The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina in April 1997. Pictured with Mort Künstler is Angie Whaley LeClercq, director of the school’s Daniel Library.
Mort Künstler’s third-floor studio overlooks the jeweled waters of Oyster Bay, a blue-gray panorama stretching to Connecticut and beyond. But when he paints, Mr. Künstler turns his back on the view, focusing his brush on a long-ago panorama of blue and gray, the Civil War. Mr. Künstler, a historical artist, has made the Civil War his specialty.
