I spoke to his sister in-law at her estate sale where I purchased the painting in 1988. She did tell me that he worked at the Golden Gate International Exposition in 1939 and was forced to return to Argentina when WWII started since they had sided with Germany and he was an Argentine citizen. His wife never saw him again. It's a beautiful painting of a landscape in Guatemala. Regards I have a watercolor signed “Guatemala-Juan Mertin”.
