A sculptor, Hart is best known for his Three Soldiers, a bronze statue at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washingon, D.C., which put a human face next to the stark granite "Wall", and the "Creation Sculptures" at the National Cathedral. Art critics consider Ex Nihilo ("Out of Nothing"), a 21- x 15-foot sculpture at the base of the Cathedral, to be his masterwork. Hart died in Baltimore August 13 of lung cancer. He was 56.
