Paintings by Pro Hart, text by Norman Habel. Adelaide: Rigby, 1981.<br />
Quarto, cloth-covered boards with an original signed oil painting by<br />
Pro Hart, 47pp. illustrated, large full page inscription by Hart on the<br />
fly-leaf. The entire front of the book, measuring 220 x 250mm, has<br />
been painted by Pro Hart in oils, signed lower left and dated ’83.<br />
The texture of the cloth-covered boards gives the appearance of a<br />
painting on canvas. The painting is titled ‘Dying Kangaroo, Pro Hart<br />
83’ and later inscribed by Hart ‘To Kathy, Robert and Family 2002’.<br />
Loosely enclosed is an original hand-coloured etching by Pro Hart<br />
of a similar scene created many years later. This book was presented<br />
to Robert Littlewood, publisher, The Lytlewode Press, on a visit the<br />
family made to Broken Hill in 2002. Robert Littlewood and Pro Hart<br />
formed a company together which published the etchings of Pro Hart,<br />
together with a retail gallery in Melbourne and a distribution network<br />
internationally. Littlewood has since authored and published a number<br />
of books on the artist.<br />
