About the Exhibition
The exhibition celebrates the life and legacy of self-taught Louisiana artist Clementine Hunter (1887–1888), whose vivid depictions of daily life on the historic Melrose Plantation capture Sunday worship, the dignity of work, and the rituals of community. The exhibition brings together 22 paintings collected by Bank of Texas chairman Norman Bagwell and four of the museum's own holdings.
