"Pride of the Past"
Signed & Numbered
by
famous
American Artist Vic Herman
(1919-1999).
In
"Pride of the Past"
, Mr. Herman exhibits the extent and depth of the pride that the Mexican people have in their heritage and history. The past always impacts and often directly guides the future. The artist presents that past being displayed by a young man to all generations, young and old. His love of his people and culture is clearly evident.
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
"
Patience Is the Companion of Wisdom
"
.
The
"Pride of the Past" 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.
