AMERICA TO MEXICO FINE ART ARTIST VIC HERMAN
This is an outstanding
Fine Art Limited Edition
Lithograph Print Portrait
Signed & Numbered
by
renowned
American Artist Vic Herman
(1919-1999). He entitled it,
"My Bus to Tlahuac Is Late"
.
In this Fine Art Print, Mr. Herman presents patience, together with some annoyance, and then ultimately acceptance. All is shown in the person of this noble Mexican woman doing the everyday task of
waiting for her bus
. She has learned from experience that buses often run late.
There seems little or nothing anyone can do. She has to be patient.
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. Mr. Herman often gave his artwork
whimsical titles like "Eating Up the Profits"
,
"
Patience Is the Companion of Wisdom
"
, "A Bellyful Means a Happy Heart",
"Birth of a Tycoon of Manana", and "Two Heads Are Better Than One
"
.
The
"My Bus to Tlahuac Is Late" 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.
