Story / Additional InfoAcquired directly from artist in 1990 when he was first commissioned by Augusta National to paint select holes. Wayland chose to paint the 10th because of all the shading & contours of the hole. The story behind this unique rendering is that when it was submitted to Augusta National, Chairman Hord Hardin declined approval stating that while Wayland's depiction was quite possibly the best he had ever seen, a depression in the fairway had been painted that was not there (Mr. Hardin was legendary in his meticulous oversight of the traditions of the Masters). Wayland respectfully asked that Mr. Hardin take a 2nd look. He replied that if he had painted the depression, then it was there. Hearing this, Chairman Hardin invited Wayland to come to Augusta and they would visit the hole together. Wayland accepted the invite. Upon inspection of the fairway, Mr. Hardin saw the depression, turned and apologized to Wayland, and granted the commission. Truly a piece of Masters history!

Wayland Moore - United States

Art Brokerage: Wayland Moore American Artist: b. 1935-2022. He is a native of Belton, S.C. and a graduate of the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Fla., according to his biographical sketch. "His commissions and assignments have brought him international acclaim as an artist who has captured the excitement of events such as the Winter and Summer Olympics, America''s Cup, U.S. Open, the Masters, P.G.A., U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame, Maccabiah Games of Israel, Davis Cup and many other international events. Moore has exhibited in numerous one-man shows throughout the United States and Europe. His original works and limited edition prints hang in private and corporate collections and he is listed in Who''s Who in American Art. The artist''s studio has been the hot and dry bush of Africa, often only yards away from lions, zebra and wildebeest; and his palette has captured the excitement and intrigue of the white waters of Alaska, Montana rodeos and European landscapes. In addition to Moore''s reputation as an artist, he conducts workshops and has taught painting in evening classes at Emory University for 15 years. His concept of teaching art to federal inmates earned him a commendation from the White House. He is in demand as a lecturer and is a powerful storyteller whose company is always treasured, whether it be in offices, galleries or around a warm campfire." Wayland David Moore, whose expressionistic paintings of dramatic action and brilliant color define an era in sports art, died on Monday, November 7, 2022, at his home in Decatur, GA. He was 87.
