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

1989
Mort Künstler with Julia Jackson Christian Preston, the granddaughter of “Stonewall” Jackson, and her daughter, Mrs. Cortlandt P. Creech at the Presbyterian Home, in High Point, North Carolina. A “Stonewall” Jackson room had been established at the home in honor of Mrs. Preston and was decorated with Künstler prints. Mrs. Preston had requested to meet the artist. Mrs. Preston was 102 at the time of this photo in 1989; she died two years later.
George Catlin...has inspired a long line of illustrious successors such as Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, Henry Farny, and in our own day, Mort Künstler.
The late Henry Steele Commager
