About the Artist (from included biography):
Segundo Huertas was a South American artist who arrived in Chicago from San Juan, Argentina in June 1965. Despite not speaking English, he built a reputation as an artist in his own country as well as in Uruguay and Brazil, receiving several first prizes in national competitions in the South American countries. Since his arrival in the United States, he traveled through the Midwest and into the Rocky Mountains, finding fresh inspiration for his canvases. Huertas admired Pop and Op art but maintained a total liberty to paint whatever and however he wished. He desired to paint pictures recognizable and related to real life.
