Kenneth Charles “Pro” Hart, MBE (1928 – 2006) was an Australian painter. His main medium of choice were oils and acrylics. He was well known for using various methods to produce his works of art, including “balloon painting”.
In 1982 he received an Honorary Life Membership of Society International Martinique for outstanding artistic achievement.
His art works are highly sought after, and hang in many public and private galleries and collections, such as, the Art Gallery of NSW.
This book, titled: "The Art of Pro Hart", the author tells the story about the artist from his early days as a bushman to a highly sought after Australian artist. The book is filled with illustrations of Pro Hart's works.
Personally signed by Pro Hart (with the added bonus of an original pen & ink sketch of a butterfly by the artist) on half-title page, this book would be a valued addition to any book collector interested in Pro's artworks or Australian art.
