Clementine Hunter

These museum quality works of art depict what plantation life was life in the rural south prior to mechanization coming to agriculture. Originally painted by Clementine Hunter, Louisiana’s most beloved artist, these canvas works are memories of what every day life was like for Clementine at Melrose Plantation. Several of her most popular subjects include Baptism on Cane River, Cotton Picking, Cotton Wagon, Wash Day, Zinnias, Pecan Picking and Funerals. To produce a giclee work, the images from a work of art are digitally captured and precision sprayed directly onto 100% cotton, artist-grade canvas using highly sophisticated inkjet printers and archival quality ink. The colors of the inks mix on the surface to create true colors, rather than the dots that the eye has to blend together in a lithograph, creating a result much more like the original painting. Each piece is gallery wrapped around 1 1/2” stretcher bars for a beautiful finished, contemporary look without the need for a frame.
