Description: Vintage Cat on Colorful Persian Rug Ceramic Tile Wall Hanging / Trivet Lowell Herrero 1982 Framed 9.5" square and in excellent condition Maker - Vandor Made in Japan 2 lbs About Born and bred Californian, Lowell was a graduate of Oakland Tech High School, served in the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II and graduated from the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland. Lowell, who was fondly known by his best friends as "the Living Legend", "H", "Lorenzo," and "Mr. Wonderful", enjoyed a long career in commercial and fine art. After his formal art education at CCAC he immediately embarked on a very successful career in advertising illustration and design. He started at the bottom, as part of a large studio, and worked his way to the top-eventually starting his own graphic design agency, Butte, Herrero and Hyde, which was extremely successful. The three partners, all artists, each yearned to be free of the corporate life. They dissolved their business amicably, and Herrero embarked on a new phase of his life perfecting his true passion, fine art, with the unconditional support and blessings of his wife, Janet Gentile of San Francisco. In 1993, Herrero designed and constructed a new studio on Mount Saint Helena, at the top of the Napa Valley. The location and size of the studio greatly influenced his work giving him compelling new subject matter and allowing him to paint in a large format. In 2001, he settled permanently in the Napa Valley, where he lived with Janet in a Tuscan farmhouse "village" of his own design. His art and life were strongly influenced by Picasso, Matisse and Van Gogh, yet he perfected his own unique art style incorporating pointillism, distortion, and a naiveté that set him apart from his contemporaries. Lowell loved life as much as he loved to paint.
