AMERICA TO MEXICO FINE ART ARTIST VIC HERMAN
This is an outstanding and intriguing
Fine Art
Limited Edition
Lithograph Print
"Solitude But Not For Long"
Signed & Numbered
by
famous
American Artist Vic Herman
(1919-1999).
In
"Solitude But Not For Long"
, the artist presents a
young Mexican girl
definitely pouting. Her family and friends have left her momentarily alone. She is not enjoying the solitude! That soon changed, Mr. Herman said, but to him, the moment of pouting, that special look on her face, was priceless. Also the textures in the background wall and the walkway in this piece are intriguing and very representative of the artist'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.
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 such
whimsical titles as: "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
"Solitude But Not For Long"
.
The
"Solitude But Not For Long" 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.
