Acrylic on canvas · 70 × 90 cm · 2010
Walter Hagen, 1914 is a vivid and playfully anachronistic scene by Francesco Ferrari from his Non Solo Golf series. With thick expressive brushstrokes and an earthy palette of ochres, brows and soft greens, the artist places the legendary early golf champion mid-swing in the foreground while a vintage open touring car — carrying passengers in striking headdresses — waits on the fairway behind him.
Ferrari turns a moment of sporting history into painted theatre: elegance, humour and quiet surrealism share the same sunlit field. The work captures both the glamour of early twentieth-century golf and the artist’s unmistakable gift for weaving unexpected characters into a single, unforgettable image.
