Autorenporträt

Clementine Hunter was born just two decades after the American Civil War in the Cane River area of Northern Louisiana at Hidden Hill Plantation rumored to be the inspiration for Harriet Beecher Stowe s Uncle Tom s Cabin. In a life that spanned a century, she bore witness to great change, not only in the larger world around her, but within her own situation. Moving to Melrose Plantation at age 15, Hunter spent most of her young life as a field hand, picking cotton. As her self-taught art was discovered, her work began to sell for thousands of dollars and exhibited in museums. Northwestern State University granted her an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts in 1986.
