Never framed and in excellent condition. sheet: 13 1/8 x 10 in. (33.34 x 25.4 cm) Alfredo Ximenez (Mexico, 1903 - ). Born in Mexico, Ximenez studied at the Bellas Artes while supporting himself as a commercial artist. He immigrated to the US in 1923 and married the daughter of famous concert pianist Maria Carreras two years later. For a brief time Ximenez was the subject of tabloid fascination after her parents, he charged, tricked her into traveling to the US so as to marry a wealthier American (Davis). In 1930 he was working as a cartoonist in New York, then shortly after that must have moved west to pursue employment. As of 1935, Ximenez had been working four years as an animator in the Hollywood studio of Max Fleischer and was exploring the establishment of his own in Mexico (Motion Picture Daily 7 Aug. 1935: 10). Apparently this did not work out, because he exhibited his FAP-sponsored work was exhibited at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (1936) and an Associated American Artists traveling show during 1937, when this print was produced. His prints are held in major museums around the US.
