FINE ART LIMITED EDITION LITHOGRAPH
"FELIPE" - A VERY SPECIAL MEXICAN BOY
AMERICA TO MEXICO FINE ART ARTIST VIC HERMAN
This is an outstanding, endearing
Fine Art Limited Edition Lithograph "Felipe" Signed & Numbered
by famous
American Artist Vic Herman (1919-1999).
This Fine Art Lithograph presents
"Felipe"
, a
gentle young Mexican boy selling oranges. The crate that he used to bring the fruit to market is behind him, some of the burlap bags he has set down as a rug – And he is ready for business! In this image, we note that the textures of the wall behind Felipe are very representative of Mr. Herman's fine art style.
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.
The artist 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 such
whimsical titles as: "Eating Up the Profits"
,
"
Patience Is the Companion of Wisdom
"
,
"A Bellyful Means a Happy Heart",
"Two Heads Are Better Th
an One", and
"Birth of a Tycoon of Manana".
The
"Felipe" 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.
