Known by some as “Lehigh Valley’s Michaelangelo,” Allen F. Hermansader was a renowned portrait artist. But before he would even pick up the paint brush, Mr. Hermansader did what he would consider to be the most important beginning of any art work he attempted. "I call on the living God to inspire me. I ask God to guide me in my work so that it might move others to become closer to the Lord," said the soft-spoken artist. Indeed this was a man filled with reverence for God and an appreciation for life that influenced his creations of art.
One of his favorite paintings, "I AM THE WAY," is an interpretation of the Master which is so remarkably done that it seems to speak to people who view it. Reproductions of this painting and others along with two of Allen's ORIGINAL oil paintings on 42x30 inch boards are available in this auction.
Allen's son is well-known artist Tom F. Hermansader
