EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Putting Out the Old Holed Out" captures a whimsical scene from the early twentieth century. Created by artist William Heath Robinson, this pen and ink illustration measures 35.5x25.4 cm and is part of a private collection. In this satirical cartoon, Robinson depicts a crowded landscape filled with angelic figures engaging in a lively game of golf. The seraphs and angels are seen playing with colorful golf balls, showcasing their sporting skills amidst an idyllic backdrop. Robinson's drawing showcases his talent as a draughtsman, capturing intricate details and adding his signature touch of satire to the piece. With scathing humor, he pokes fun at the absurdity of combining heavenly beings with earthly pastimes like golfing. The composition is filled with vibrant colors that bring life to the artwork, while also highlighting the contrast between celestial figures and earthly pursuits. The inclusion of an hourglass adds another layer of symbolism, reminding viewers that time is fleeting even for divine beings. This image offers a unique glimpse into 1920s culture through its representation of sportsmanship and leisure activities during that era. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a social commentary on society's fascination with games and recreation. Overall, "Putting Out the Old Holed Out" invites viewers to reflect on the intersection between fantasy and reality while appreciating Robinson's skillful craftsmanship in creating this satirical masterpiece.
