Ernesto Icaza is celebrated for his detailed depictions of the lifestyle and customs of Mexico's charros, whose cowboy culture is closely related to that of the Southwestern United States depicted by artists such as Frederic Remington. His work is held in important collections in the United States and Mexico, including the Instituto Cultural Fomento Banamex.
