Clementine Hunter

(American, 1886–1988)

Clementine Hunter was a self-taught African American artist known for her painted depictions of early 20th-century plantation life in Louisiana. Hunter’s colorful oil paintings do not rely on traditional perspective, and instead employ flat planes of color and shifts in scale to carve out spaces and objects in her inventive renderings of her day-to-day activities. Her works were often created on plates, discarded fabric, and other readily available materials. Born in December 1886 in Natchitoches Parish, LA on the Hidden Hill Plantation she spent her life working as a farm laborer and maid. Though she never learned to read or write, she went on to receive an honorary fine arts degree from the Northwestern State University of Louisiana in 1986 as a recognition for her artistic accomplishments and contributions. Hunter is often compared to another famous self-taught artist, Grandma Moses, and is considered one of the most celebrated Southern painters. She died on January 1, 1988 in Natchitoches Parish, LA.
