Glazed, matted and framed. Provenance: Private collection, New Orleans, Louisiana. Along with John Marin and Charles Burchfield, "Pop" Hart was considered, in his time, a leading figure in American Watercolor. He was largely self-taught, although he spent three years studying at the Art Institute of Chicago and briefly at the Academie Julian in Paris. He traveled extensively in Europe, South America and the West Indies, using his favorite medium, watercolor, to capture the sights en plein air. Like his contemporary, Maurice Prendergast, whose influence is seen in some of Hart's work, he often painted people walking along beaches and enjoying the simple pleasures of everyday life. "Boardwalk, Atlantic City" exemplifies this type of work. Mrs. Abby Aldrich Rockefeller was a collector of his work and in 1928 organized an exhibition for Hart. A bust of Hart by Reuben Nakian is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, donated by Mrs. Abby Aldrich Rockefeller.
