Limited Edition
Lithograph Print
"A Bellyful Means a Happy Heart"
Signed & Numbered
by
famous
American Artist Vic Herman
(1919-1999).
The title of this Fine Art Print is whimsical but fitting – As the little Mexican boy'
s
shirt buttons attest! But the phrase "A Bellyful Means a Happy Heart" is much more than that to the Mexican people. It is
a common saying
. One person related: "A Mexican man says this a thousand times in his lifetime!" Mr. Herman depicts this beautifully!
Mr. Herman
was born in Massachusetts, but grew up in Los Angeles where he learned to speak Spanish and nurtured a great love and respect for his Mexican-American schoolmates and neighbors.
During World War II
, Mr. Herman was a field correspondent for "Stars and Stripes" and created the character
Winnie the WAC
for the U.S. Navy. He later created other figures including
Elsie the Cow and Reddy Kilowatt.
His illustrations were carried in virtually all of the national magazines of his day.
Mr. Herman was nationally and internationally-known as
"
The Norman Rockwell of Mexico
"
because he portrayed the Mexican people in their own culture, doing their normal day-to-day activities as well as at their special times, just as Mr. Rockwell did for the American people. The artist often gave his artwork
whimsical titles like "Eating Up the Profits"
,
"
Patience Is the Companion of Wisdom
"
,
"Birth of a Tycoon of Manana", "Two Heads Are Better Th
an One", and here
"A Bellyful Means a Happy Heart"
.
The
"A Bellyful Means a Happy Heart"
Image
was part of the
"
Many Faces of Mexico Exhibition
"
that traveled extensively in Mexico and the United States under the sponsorship of
both the Mexican and American Governments
. In February 1974,
American Artist Magazine
published its
article
by Frederic Whitaker,
"
Vic Herman: Ambassador with a Brush
", a name by which Mr. Herman also became known. His
artwork is today included in numerous public, private, and corporate Fine Art Collections.
