Mort Künstler
Mort Künstler (born August 28, 1931) is an American artist known for his illustrative paintings of the American Civil War. His works are primarily sold as mass-produced printed reproductions.〔Gabor Boritt, The Lincoln Enigma:The Changing Faces of an American Icon, Oxford University Press, 2001, page 178 ()〕 He is also known for earlier commercial illustration before turning to Civil War themes in the early 1980s, a body of work that dealt with America's national story: from portraits of prehistoric American life to the odyssey of the space shuttle. His work has also been published in illustrated books and magazines and used by advertising agencies.
==Biography==
Künstler studied art at Brooklyn College, U.C.L.A. and Pratt Institute. After graduating he worked as a freelance artist in New York, where he received assignments from book and magazine publishers. In 1953, he supplied painted covers for several ''Classics Illustrated'' titles, including ''Pitcairn's Island'' and ''A Study in Scarlet''.〔Heritage Galleries auction archives.〕 He drew covers and other art for paperback books and men's adventure magazines. Künstler completed at least three cover illustrations and two inside illustrations every month, for MagazineManagement alone. During this time he published under at least two pen names, Martin Kay and Emmett Kaye ('plays' on his initials of "M" and "K"). Künstler said, "The editors didn't want it to look like one person was doing all the art." He also did art for Aurora model kit boxes, such as the Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima kit. He used the alias "Mutz" to draw back covers for issues of ''Mad Magazine'',〔p.365 Ivy Press ''HCA Heritage Comics Auction Catalog'' 2006 Heritage Capital Corporation〕 and did posters for movies such as the original ''The Poseidon Adventure'' and the original ''The Taking of Pelham One Two Three''.
In 1982, a commission from CBS-TV to do a painting for the 3-part mini-series ''The Blue and the Gray'' (televised November 1982) directed Mr. Künstler's interest towards the Civil War. Although the research was painstaking, he devoted much time to making sure that his painting The High Water Mark was meticulously correct. The painting was unveiled at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum on July 2, 1988 in celebration of the 125th anniversary of the battle.
