Yarmouth Bloater
Acrylic, oil and screen-print on linen 34 x 44 inches
Tazio Nuvolari was born in Castel d'Ario, Mantua. Ferdinand Porsche called him "The greatest driver of the past, the present, and the future."
His greatest ever victory was the German Grand Prix of 1935, where, in an outdated and uncompetitive Alfa Romeo P3 he defeated Germany's vaunted Auto
Union and Mercedes Benz racing outfits in front of Adolf Hitler, who was said to be outraged and refused to shake his hand afterwards. The hosts were so
expectant of a German victory that they didn't have an Italian anthem to play.
The image of Nuvolari is photographed from a small chalkware bust bought on Ebay and shipped from the USA.
