RIP Tony Hart

[Tom]

He's kicked the bucket at 83. Very sad, such a gentleman and someone who got me interested in drawing.

Very sad!

I grew up with his show.

Very sad

 

[Wazzerphuk]

I grew up with his show.

Very sad

No you didn't, you still haven't grown up.

But yes, very sad, I used to love watching his shows as a little kid. Shame I had absolutely no aptitude for anything arty.

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

A decent innings for a very talented man but still very sad to see him go.

A lot of today's children's art programmes have their roots in Take Hart.

 

[Fast]

A shame, he was a top bloke. I can still hear the gallery music in my head now

YouTube - The Gallery

 

[Zenith.UK]

I only found out about this 5 minutes ago so I'm still a bit upset. He was a staple of TV when I was growing up and I've got happy memories of the programme, Morph and the music for the gallery.

That music was one of them Fast (Cavatina, theme to The Deerhunter) but I also remember this being the music for the gallery.

[Edmond]

This was so sad when i just read it, really upsetting. I knew he had been i'll for a long time, saying he couldn't draw anymore cos of the 2 strokes he had had.

It must have been soul destroying for him not to be able to create anymore, again this is someone i grew up with watchig on tv as a child

So so sad, RIP Mr Hart

 

[Embattle]

When you consider how long he has been around for a lot of us grew up with him as a kid

RIP

 

[chipper]

think anyone over the age of 25 will remember his show with fondness, i do. i could never draw, still cant lol, but i always tried just so i could send a pic in i remember the gallery music that zenith just put up and good ole morph

RIP mr hart

 

[Kryten]

A definite shame, indeed I grew up watching that show and many a time sat in front of the telly armed with various paints, brushes, gluesticks and glitter

 

[Jimmy]

such a shame i loved his show's , he was a top bloke...that music brings back memory's

 

[Fast]

Zenith, i remember that one also, nice find

 

[PLightstar]

Just heard, can't believe it.

RIP

 

[dysfunction]

This was great TV when I was growing up.
I loved Morph...

 

[Dark Orb Choir]

wilf lunn rocked as well, i remember VisionOn with them both in, and sylvester Mcoy (dr who)

 

[Cadiva]

I'm gutted, he was one of those TV presenters who didn't hog the limelight but made sure that his artwork was the thing on display. A genius with any medium from paintbrush to white line machine, he made everyone think they could draw and demonstrated everyone could to an extent with his viewers pics gallery.

I watched him from Vision On and would agree Wilf Lunn and Syvester Mcoy were fab as well.

 

[russell]

I remember him fondly. RIP

 

[Jaberwocky]

I learnt of his passing when flicking to BBC News24, they showed a cracking montage of his best moment over the years, fond memories.

 

[Ch3tan]

rip

 

[Jupitus]

I grew up with the likes of Vision On and the like - a sad loss, RIP.

 

[xane]

He cheated on the Origami, you could see the crease lines. Nevertheless, many happy days trying to make little paper animals after watching Vision On. RIP

 

[Sar]

Ah well, his life has finally drawn to a close.

And for those who don't know him - morph-ool you!


RIP Tony. Art is an ickle bit poorer now
