“I don’t do nothing now, much, but paint a little. That’s all.”
Clementine hunter
In 1981, Louisiana’s most celebrated primitive artist was 96-years-old, maybe. Clementine Hunter doesn’t know exactly when she was born and the church records that documented her birth were lost in a fire years prior. Not knowing her age doesn’t really matter, it’s just a number. These days she doesn’t do a whole lot besides pray, and make art, just a little bit.
Watch a Louisiana Public Broadcast interview with Clementine Hunter at her home at Melrose Plantation in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana.
