Summary/Abstract: This paper explores Drago’s Trumbetaš collection of drawings called „Gastarbeiter Series” from an anthropological perspective. Dragutin Trumbetaš (1937–2018) was a croatian self-taught artist who spent major part of his life working various jobs as a guest worker in Germany. His Gastarbeiter drawings that are based on his personal experience as a migrant realistically depict the hardship and everyday practices of the first wave immigrants who came as temporary labor workers to Western Europe in the 60’s. His artworks could serve as an important material for researching the attitudes, values and experiences of migrants, and ultimately shed a light on their process of acculturation to a new cultural and social environment.
