Mort Künstler
Tags: art, Mort Kunstler

Mort Künstler is an American artist. Since the ’80s he’s been documenting the American Civil War, and this is what has brought him true success and recognition. But he was a much-accomplished artist decades prior. In the ’60s he drew covers and other art for paperback books and magazines such as Stag, Men’s Adventure, and even back covers for Mad (using the alias Mutz). It is from this era that we give you a look at some of his brilliant artistic talent.
