Commentary by James I. Robertson, Jr. on Mort Kunstler-- Part 1

"Mort Kunstler revolutionized Civil War art.  For over a quarter-century, he elevated knowledge of America's bloodiest war by producing dramatic, unforgettable portraits of moments in that greatest test of nationhood.

"What sets Kunstler in a class of his own are selections of scenes and a talent for infusing human feelings onto inanimate canvas.  History is a living subject; humans are motivated by emotions.  Because both of these truisms mark every painting Kunstler produces, he has become a legend in his own time."
