Description: Offering this Clementine Hunter poster featuring a girl pulling a “Gooster” and cart. Clementine Hunter, the daughter of sharecroppers, didn’t start painting until she was in her 50’s. She traveled around with her parents while they were looking for work and would help them out with farming chores and other responsibilities until they finally settled near Melrose Plantation. There they became employed by Cammie Henry who owned a pecan plantation as well as turning her property into an artist colony. According to Clementine, Alberta Kinsey, a residing artist, left her paints upon her departure and Clementine asked to have them. Her subject matter was mostly life on the plantation. She continued painting until well into her 90s. She passed away when she was 100 years old in 1988. Hunter's signature primitivism style features her connection to Louisiana's rich cultural heritage. Measuring at 11 inches in height and 29 inches in length, this medium-sized poster is printed on high-quality paper, making it a truly unique addition to any art collection. The poster's subject matter and cultural significance make it a must-have for any lover of primitive folk art.
