Hugh Sawrey CBE (born in Forest Glen, Queensland, 1919, died Benalla, Victoria, 1999) was an Australian artist and founder of the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame, Longreach, Queensland. Sawrey was an artist whose prolific output of paintings and drawings of the Australian landscape and its people contributed in a profound way to the preserving of the memory of times and places in Australian history that were in danger of being overlooked and lost to posterity. Throughout his long career, he experienced firsthand events that shaped Australian identity in the 20th century and documented through his work many of the characters that lived in this period.
Over a seven-decade career, his paintings, featuring stockmen, horses, and rural life, etched the spirit of the Australian bush into the national consciousness. He also co-founded the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame and was honored as a CBE in 1989 for his pivotal role in preserving Australian heritage

Buying my David Bromley through HartFinds was a dream—great price, seamless process, and the confidence of purchasing through the trusted Hart family. I couldn’t be happier with the artwork!
I recently sold a Pro Hart painting on and They handled all aspects of the sale including transport of the painting from my home, located outside Queensland, to the buyer. The service they provided was exemplary. Very professional service. Highly recommended.
I sold my Pro Hart from my home in Europe after owning it for well over 30 years. I was quite cautious about such a long distance arrangement but the gallery was very effective and friendly. Christine offered personal and professional service and guidance. I am also happy that it could be returned to Australia and handled by the Hart family.- the best solution really. Happy to recommend!
A big shout out of thanks and appreciation to Christine and the team who advised us well as we prepared to sell a Pro Hart original: their expert advice, followed trustingly, was rewarded with a prompt sale at a reasonable price.
