Lithograph Print
"Patience Is the Companion of Wisdom"
Signed & Numbered
by
famous
American Artist Vic Herman
(1919-1999).
In this Fine Art Print, t
he artist
portrays a peaceful older Mexican man who has found that at least two lessons of life are true: Patience comes from experience and with experience comes Wisdom. They are companions. The gentleman'
s
warmth, his strength come from these. This print is likely Mr. Herman'
s
most well-known artwork image.
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"
, "A Bellyful Means a Happy Heart",
"Birth of a Tycoon of Manana", "Two Heads Are Better Than One
",
and here
"
Patience Is the Companion of Wisdom
"
.
The
"Patience Is the Companion of Wisdom" 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.
