A cabin gallerySourced
It cost 25 cents to look at her paintings
Louisiana artist Clementine Hunter displayed a sign outside her cabin asking 25 cents to view her work. She painted remembered scenes of weddings, baptisms, plantation work and domestic life. Paintings sold locally, including at a drugstore, eventually entered museum collections.
Everyday memories travelled far beyond the cabin.
