...Mort Künstler painted this cover for Stag, a men’s adventure magazine of the post World War II era.
It depicted the tanks rolling in to rescue the encircled American troops in Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944. It was painted c. 1963 and was shown for the first time on October 22, 1979 in a one-man exhibition of Mort Künstler’s paintings at the Hammer Galleries in New York City. The show, Mort Künstler’s second at the Hammer Galleries, was sold out on opening night!
