The Races

Pro Hart Original

The Races - Oil Painting (1989)

“The Races” is a colourful depiction of a common scene that can be found in the Broken Hill area. Pro became famous for his humorous and striking paintings, and in particular, his scenes of the races.

This particular painting is a very rare and significant work considering its size and content.  It also has Pro Hart's DNA applied.  An absolute delight for an investor in Pro Hart paintings.

Pro Hart was often referred to as the "father of the Australian Outback painting movement," he developed a distinctive style using bold techniques and inventive methods. His work, rich in character and storytelling, struck a deep chord with everyday Australians and earned him widespread acclaim. In recognition of his contribution to the arts, he was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1976.

About the Artist

Pro Hart

Pro Hart was discovered by Kym Bonython (Art Dealer) in 1962. Over his career, Pro’s popularity as an outback larrikin artist, saw career rise to fame and fortune as his artwork began to fill both private and corporate art collections around Australia and the world. Australian Pro Hart’s unique styles, and his exploration of new and expressive techniques, underpinned his work, and over a 50 year period, cemented him as one of Australia’s truly great artists.

Pro Hart was one of Australia’s most popular and controversial artists. Born Kevin Charles Hart in Broken Hill, NSW on 30 May 1928, his early years were spent on the family sheep property, “Larloona Station,” around 130 kms south east of Broken Hill near Menindee, NSW.
