Founded in 1972, The National Gallery of Jamaica is dedicated to documenting and promoting the visual arts of Jamaica. The largest art gallery in the english speaking Caribbean. The National Gallery seeks to enhance public awareness of the visual arts and the issues which surround and contextualize it,by mounting regular exhibitions of contemporary art and organising a host of education programmes. The exhibition programme includes retrospectives,historical and thematic exhibitions, and recurrent exhibitions such as the National Biennial.
The National Gallery charts the growth and development of Jamaica’s greatest artistic endeavours, from Taino Indian artifacts to Spanish and English colonial art, from the early pioneers to the very latest contemporary work by Jamaican artists.

I am trying to find details about pencil drawings done by Ras Daniel Heartman.Is this the same Daniel Heartman who I believe died of malaria in Tanzania in about 1982? To my knowledge none of his drawings have appeared on the art market.The musician DANIEL HARTMAN presumably is not the one and the same person.
Ras Daniel Heartman was drawing in the late 1960′s and living in Kingston at the time.
How collectable are these drawings?Did he continue to draw or are they now rarities?

@B J Ireland,
I also am inquiring about a couple of pictures. I would like to know the history of the pics.
Thanks
How can I get in touch with Ras Daniel Heartman’s son, I would love to interview him for a project.
Give Thanks
Hi. Did you have any luck getting in touch with his son, I am trying to research Ras daniels
work having seen a drawing on my trip to Jamaica recently ? Thanks.
Just last week my friends and I were talking about Ras Daniel Heartman & his work and was wondering what had happen to him. I am so sorry to hear that he had died from 1982 but Jamaica should make sure that his work continue to live on. He was such a talented artist (some of the best pencil drawing) I have ever seen.
I own 3 original pieces of Ras Daniels work and i am curious of the value. All framed by Ras Daniel done in 1973. These are them: instagram.com/p/PAEgBHvobg/?fb_action_ids=4473301034538&fb_action_types=instapp%3Atake&fb_ref=ogexp&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=282366635119873 If any body can fill me in on some info about this i can be contacted at kixbusiness@gmail.com thank you.
