[email protected]ArtistsNetworkWhen we think about the working life of an artist,
we tend to emphasize the solitary nature of the
practice—the lone painter at work at an easel. But
the fact is—for most artists, anyway—there are
many people involved in the adventure. Among
them are friends and family who support and
champion the effort; gallery owners and collectors
who invest in an artist’s success; and mentors and
teachers who counsel and steer, inspire and influ-
ence. Sure, the work requires times of solitude, but
an artist doesn’t work in isolation. Everett Raymond (Ray) Kinstler was
certainly an artist who embodied this congenial spirit.
Kinstler, whose foray into art began as an inker’s apprentice for comic
books, went on to become a celebrated portrait painter. His subjects
included famous authors and athletes, Hollywood celebrities and seven
American presidents. The National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.,
holds 84 of the artist’s works in its collection. Still, the in-demand portrait
artist also spent a good deal of time as an educator, teaching at the Art
Students League of New York from 1969 to 1974, and leading numerous
workshops there in following years. Kinstler acknowledged the vital role of
his own mentor in a 2013 interview with The Artists Magazine, saying, “Not
a day goes by that I don’t think of Mr. [Frank Vincent] Dumond, who was
my teacher at the Art Students League. I loved the old man ... He took me
under his wing and helped secure my first studio at the National Arts Club.”
Kinstler passed away May 26 at the age of 92. We’re saddened by this loss
to the art community, and in gratitude for the lessons and insights he so
graciously shared with readers of this magazine over the years, we dedicate
this issue to his memory. We also extend that appreciation to all of the
artist-educators who contribute knowledge and expertise to these pages. This
generosity of spirit helps us deliver—much like a favorite art mentor—the
instruction, practical information and, most importantly, the encouragement
we all need as we travel the creative road.ANNE HEVENER
