Not sure what to say?

Just wanted to let you know, just purchashed one of K.Engelhardt slates in California. I purchased at estate sale and i just love it! Its dated New Orleans 87. THANK YOU and God Bless

He was a lovely, talented, funny, caring gentleman... a loss to the world.

During a visit to Paris in 1964, my parents fell in love with an unusual painting of Notre Dame cathedral by a young street artist - "Ken" Engelhardt. In 1972, my father returned to Paris and found Knut at the same location still at his easel, this time purchasing a rendition of a Paris street in the early fall. My parents are now deceased and one of Knut's paintings currently lives on the wall of my home and one graces my sisters home. We recently went looking for information on the artist...

Knut was one of my favorite customers. I always enjoyed his stories and sense of humor.

We send our deepest sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Knut was a fun-loving, talented man who loved life. He will be missed.

We shall enjoy his talent everyday on the walls of our home and think of him fondly...a good friend will be missed... Jim and Jean Fogleman, Destin, Florida

Knut,
Your stories rival any of Hemingway's. As the saying goes - not all who wander are lost. Your legacy lives on in New Orleans through your family, your art, and our memories.
Bis später!

It was a pleasure and a privilege to have known him. "The Captain" will always be in our hearts. An amazing artist...an amazing man!
