    AMERICA TO MEXICO FINE ART ARTIST VIC HERMAN
    This is an outstanding, entrepreneurial
    Fine Art Limited Edition
    Lithograph
    "Today Chiclets, Tomorrow Shoes"
    Signed & Numbered
    by
    famous
    American Artist Vic Herman
    (1919-1999).
    In this Fine Art Lithograph, the artist presents an ambitious
    young Mexican boy

    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
    "
    ,
    "A Bellyful Means a Happy Heart",
    "Two Heads Are Better Th
    an One", and
    "Birth of a Tycoon of Manana".
    The
    "Today Chiclets, Tomorrow Shoes"
    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.
