Morton Künstler (born August 28, 1927) is an American artist known for his illustrative paintings of historical events, especially of the American Civil War. He became a skilled artist by the time he was twelve. He is considered the "best-known and most respected historical artist in the country." Künstler began his career in the 1950s, illustrating paperback book covers and adventure magazines. In 1965 he was commissioned by National Geographic to create what became his first historic painting. He also created posters for movies such as The Poseidon Adventure and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. By the 1970s he was painting covers for Newsweek and other magazines. Künstler eventually began creating military art. In 1977, his first major gallery exhibition brought new attention to his talents as a historical artist. By the 1980s he was acclaimed as America's foremost Civil War artist, and would eventually create over 350 Civil War paintings alone. Besides his Civil War paintings, he created historical art of the American Revolution through the Korean and Vietnam wars, along with paintings of World War II. He painted historical events such as the Oklahoma Land Rush and new immigrants on Ellis Island. NASA made him their official artist for the Space Shuttle Columbia. Fascinating trivia about America's Civil War. For example, the youngest general officer of the war was Brevet Major-General Galusha Pennypacker of the Union. Born on June 1, 1844, Pennypacker was only 17 at the outset of the war. He remained too young to vote until the war's end. And many, many more wonderful and thought-provoking factual tidbits.
