The Violin

Mostly self taught, Cervantez helped Russell Vernon Hunter paint New Deal murals for the DeBaca (New Mexico) County Courthouse at Fort Sumner in the 1930s, while living at Texico. The Museum of Modern Art at New York included his easel paintings in its exhibition, "Masters of Popular Painting," in 1938. The Violin was featured in the exhibition, “Sin Nombre: Hispana and Hispano Artists of the New Deal Era,” at the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe.
