Other Notes: |
Here is one of Hart's great Mexican scenes - the common people engaged in everyday activity. This work is from his last known trip to Mexico. Gregory Gilbert in his book on Hart illustrates another drawing done in charcoal of a similar roadside restaurant scene completed during one of Hart's earlier frequent trips to Mexico. (Ref.: Fig. 61, George Overbury "pop" Hart - His Life and Art".) | ||||
