Clementine Hunter's World
As the civil rights protests of the 1950s were beginning to jolt America, self-taught African American artist, Clementine Hunter quietly painted a visual diary of plantation life in Melrose, Louisiana - unaware her painted images would in time become portals illuminating the racial divide on "the other side" of the 20th century plantation fence.

Following a career in broadcast television, Art Shiver began a study of the African American artist, Clementine Hunter. He co-authored two books on her life. His book, Clementine Hunter: Her Life and Art (LSU Press 2012), is recognized as a definitive study of the self-taught Louisiana painter. He curated two significant exhibitions of her works, including one for the LSU Museum of Art on the occasion of the launch of the book he co-authored with Tom Whitehead. His biographical film, Clementine Hunter’s World, explores Hunter’s painted images and finds portals that shed light on her life and illuminate the shadows on the other side of a plantation’s racial divide.
