Self-taught, Montreal artist Peter W. Hart fell in love with painting at the age of 39 by chance while flipping through a book that included a reproduction of Degas’ “Dancers”. This painting was a revelation to him. It awakened in him a sudden and intense passion for art in general and in particular the works of the Impressionists. The play of light, as well as the use and juxtaposition of primary colours, still fascinate him to this day. Inspired by the paintings of iconic artists like Monet, Renoir, Manet, Courbet, Pissarro and Van Gogh, Hart began painting and traveling the world to admire the originals of these masterpieces. What started as an avocation has become a vocation to which he has devoted himself for the last 28 years, forging a signature of his own and on many canvases. A prolific artist, Peter W. Hart permanently exhibits his work at his own self-titled gallery located in the heart of Old Montreal. PROVENANCE: Private collection, Montreal, QC
