Additional Details

Clementine Hunter (1888-1987) was born on Hidden Hill Plantation near Cloutierville, Louisiana; a place so isolated and harsh that local legend claimed it was the real-life inspiration for Uncle Tom's Cabin. She spent most of her life working on plantations, at first picking cotton and later cleaning and cooking in the "Big House." Sometime around the 1940s she began to paint. Her works are hung in many collections and museums.
