Default Remembering Tony Hart - 03-02-2009, 08:55

So, I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was sad to hear recently that Tony Hart had died. In fact, I know it, because of this story.

From the report, it sounds like the fans arranged to display the mob of Morphs with the Tate Modern, but I like to imagine them doing it guerilla-style, and all the Morphs just appearing overnight.

Found another report with video footage of the Morphs here.

For us old 'uns twas a sad day indeed having been brought up on the culture of popular art done by an artist since the 50's & 60's, not those amateurs on the recent SMART series of programmes.
Another tribute here BBC NEWS | Entertainment | TV presenter Tony Hart dies at 83

Who remembers Pachy from the late 1950's?

Maybe only me!


I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just like grandpa. Not screaming and panicking like his passengers.

I never realised he was as old as that. For me, when I was younger, he was like the David Attenborough of the art world - someone who made it interesting.

I hate to say it, but I thought he had died years ago. When I was about 12. Just goes to show how wrong you can be.

I loved him though. He always made art interesting.


May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.
