For over 60 years, American National Treasure Everett Raymond
Kinstler has been upholding the rich tradition of narrative
painting that extends back to the easels of the greatest American
Academicians. We are proud to announce that this book includes
many of his masterpieces and iconic works that are a true legacy
of our times. But these pages are more than a showcase of exceptional
art from a living master, they are a testament to Kinstler's
passion for art and its power to make a difference. Throughout
the text, artist readers will identify with Kinstler's dreams,
goals, challenges, insecurities and triumphs. Kinstler recounts
his experiences as a freelancer painting covers and illustrations.
He tells about the great times he had creating the Zorro comic
books. Read about his humorous episodes and interactions with
important and flamboyant figures, like Salvador Dali. Enjoy
Kinstler's descriptions of painting American Presidents and
their First Ladies. Be privy to previous images, photographs
and letters from Kinstler's archives.

a matching gilt-embossed cloth slipcase, a special color signature
plate signed by Kinstler and Vadeboncoeur, and sixteen additional
b&w pages reproduced from original drawings in the artist's
collection. Limited to 700.
Art Spirit's provocative film takes an in-depth look at Kinstler's
life and career, featuring interviews with President and Mrs.
Gerald Ford, Tony Bennett, Carol Burnett and writer Tom Wolfe.
He has captured the likenesses of movie stars and astronauts,
first ladies and Supreme Court justices, university presidents
and U.S. Presidents. The film invites the viewer inside Mr.
Kinstler's New York City studio at the historic National Arts
Club as he paints and speaks about his life's work. His work
hangs in universities, private collections, clubs and the White
House. Included in the film is the artist painting a portrait,
