Lithograph
"This Is My Land"
Signed & Numbered
by
famous
American Artist Vic Herman
(1919-1999).
Here, a
Mexican man
,
a caballero (a gentleman or perhaps a cowboy), looks outward knowing with pride how important to him, his family, and his people is the land that lies before him. His face is strong and firm. Like citizens of many lands, he knows that his land is well worth the time, effort, and resources needed to preserve and protect it.
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
"This Is My Land"
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.
