Season 2019 Episode 4 | 15m 22sVideo has Closed Captions
In "Mort Kunstler: Making the Strongest Image," discover the life of a pulp artist.
Long Island-based artist Mort Kunstler is an expert in a now-obsolete art form: the pop imagery of pulp. Before photoshop, illustrators like Kunstler created images for magazines, films, and adventure stories with bright color and intricate detail. His work is emblematic of an era, and his depiction of Don Vito Corleone inspired the casting of Marlon Brando in Francis Ford Coppola's classic film.
