About E.H. Hart

Hart, Ernest Huntley ‘Ernest H. Hart’ (New York City, 1910 – Florida, 1985).
An American painter, printmaker, illustrator, and author, Ernest Huntley Hart perused his art studies at the Art Students League in New York. He was a member of the Association of Connecticut Artists and the Association of American Artists. During the ‘American Depression Era’, Ernest Hart contributed murals and easel works for the Public Works of Art Project, and the Federal Arts Project (WPA). Such works can be viewed at such locations as the New Haven County Jail, West Haven Firehouse, Troup Jr. HIgh School and the Community Chest in New Haven and other public institutions. After moving to Florida Ernie Hart completed a twenty five foot oil on canvas in his Florida studio which was donated to the The New Haven Central Hospital for Veterinary Medicine. Although Hart’s art also included human subjects and still life images, Hart’s art predominantly dealt with animals showing a particular preference for the canine (dogs). Surviving non canine dog images are scarce.

Ernest Huntley Hart was proficient in the medium of oil painting, pastel, drawing, watercolor, and lithography.

Many of his original works of art are signed, ‘Ernest H. Hart’, or ‘E. H. Hart’.
