Herman Trunk

Herman Trunk, also known as Herman Trunk Jr., was an American painter active in the modernist movement of the 1920s and 1930s. He exhibited alongside some of the most famous artists of the day. His contributions to figurative abstract art are being recovered by scholars and critics interested in disability studies and religious studies, as he was a deaf artist and a devoted Catholic during a time of anti-Catholic sentiment. His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.
