WHO AM I?
Foraged in 46 was painted by Emil Hermann in 1946, capturing ironworkers pulling steel from the forge during a defining era of American industry. Over time, viewers have paused at the central figure, noting a natural resemblance to Donald Trump an observation made even more interesting by the fact that both the painting and Trump were born the same year. Hermann left no record of who the worker was, leaving the story open for viewers to interpret. This blend of craftsmanship, history, and coincidence has become part of the painting’s unique appeal.
