Cherished: The Art of Clementine Hunter at LSU Museum of Art

One of Louisiana's most renowned artists, folk painter Clementine Hunter's work will be displayed at the LSU Museum of Art in a solo exhibition for the first time since 1971, when Hunter was in her eighties. With forty pieces on view, visitors can see the scope of Hunter's output, including paintings that she worked on at Melrose Plantation, where Hunter was born in 1886. A self-taught artist, Hunter's vividly painted work captures the small moments, rituals, and surroundings that made up daily life on the plantation. The show will also feature oral histories from Hunter's family members, exploring memory as it is passed down from generation to generation. lsumoa.org.
