Katherine Hepburn
Tony Bennett, a painter as
well as a singer, compares Everett Raymond Kinstler to John Singer
Sargent. “Kinstler is that
good.” Starting out at age 16 as a
comic book illustrator, Kinstler has painted portraits, 1200 in all, including
seven presidents, from Nixon to the Bushes, as well as college presidents,
senators, governors and well - known personalities, from John Wayne to
Katherine Hepburn to Carol Burnett and Paul Newman.
Born in New York and living
now in Easton, Connecticut, Kinstler
has a one-man exhibit of his
work “Pulps to Portraits” currently at the Bellarmine Museum on the campus of
Fairfield University in Fairfield through September 28, 2012. He will speak about his work at 5 p.m.
on Thursday, September 20 at 5 p.m., followed by a reception at 6 p.m. at the
Bellarmine. The exhibit is free
and open to the public, and was organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum in
Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
