Walter's Falls Group of Artists - Bernhard Hartan
 


Dream Girl


 


A WFGA member and dear friend, Bernhard Hartan, left us tragically, in March, 2004. 
His  presence is sorely missed by his family, friends, and the Group.
The WFGA has instituted a  scholarship in his name, with the OSCVI in Owen Sound.


Bernhard works in pencil and many paint mediums. He paints fantasy dreamscapes. Bernhard Hartan calls his polished paintings “dreamworks.” The one artist in the group actually living in downtown Walter’s Falls, Bernhard was born in Bavaria, arrived in Canada in 1981 and moved to the Falls in 1983. His art training was primarily by osmosis and unofficial apprenticeship in a vibrant artistic society/community in Spain, during the 1970s, combined with travel through Europe, India, Africa and the States. Bernhard’s dreamworks are illusionarily tactile and visually-layered surprises. Most of his past work has gone to collectors in Germany, Switzerland and U.S.A.
