Kevin Charles “Pro” Hart, MBE (30 May 1928 – 28 March 2006), was an Australian artist, born in Broken Hill, New South Wales, who was considered the father of the Australian Outback painting movement and his works are widely admired for capturing the true spirit of the outback. He grew up on his family’s sheep farm in Menindee and was nicknamed “Professor” (hence “Pro”) during his younger days, when he was known as an inventor.
