Mort Künstler Bücher

For nearly thirty years, Mort K?nstler has focused his considerable artistic talent on interpreting the Civil War. In crafting his work to reflect poignant moments or critical instances of the conflict, he has turned to leading historians and scholars?such as Henry Steele Commager, James McPherson, William C. Davis, and James I. Robertson Jr.?for informative details that he has then translated on canvas to create an indelible image of this defining ordeal in America's history. More than 160 of these images?supplemented by preliminary sketches, early studies, and photographs of works in progress?are the basis for the four volumes in this series.

This spectacular collection of seventy-nine works of art by America's premier historical artist is a stunning visual portrait of the two legendary Civil War Confederate generals. Text is by an acclaimed historian.

Magnificent, handsomely illustrated volume, with paintings by Mort Kunstler, and text by Pulitzer Prize-winner and expert in the field James McPherson. More than 70 accurate, dramatically composed paintings, and an illuminating, concise, and highly readable text record key events, battles, and personalities of the Civil War. Text and pictures work together to produce an extraordinary, authoritative account.
