Comments:  "Benito Juarez" Original Painting: SOLD 30x40 Mixed media on canvas Prints Available Born a Zapotec Indian in a small farm in Oaxaca, Benito Juarez would become Mexico's first indigenous President without Spanish heritage, and would become to be known as "Mexico's Lincoln". He vanquished Maximilian and his French forces out of Mexico, regaining the country's independence on Cinco de Mayo. Andy Warhol was clearly my inspiration for this piece, having almost named it "If Andy Warhol Was Mexican". Andy Warhol was famous for painting American icons like Marilyn Monroe, Mickey Mouse, and Elvis Presley.
