1928–2006 | Broken Hill, NSW
Pro Hart was a pioneering Australian artist whose vibrant works captured the heart of outback life with energy, humour, and raw honesty. Entirely self-taught, he painted what he knew — mining towns, rugged landscapes, and everyday stories — all rendered in a bold, expressive style that made his work instantly recognisable.
Beyond painting, Hart was a sculptor, inventor, and performer, constantly experimenting with new ways to bring art to life. Awarded an MBE in 1976, his legacy continues to inspire.
Original works by Pro Hart are now increasingly rare and highly sought-after — each one a treasured piece of Australia’s cultural history.
