About the Item
Clementine Hunter, African House
This is an excellent example of Hunter’s work, featuring the iconic African House. Three figures are present in the work, a boy, a girl, and an elderly seated figure. The girl carries a bright blue jug, and is dressed in a bright pink dress and shoes. The boy wears a red shirt and white hat. The seated older woman wears bright blue. The background is a stunning shade of yellow. Four oak trees are featured in this work, two larger trees flanking the African House, two smaller trees on either side of the figures. This piece features an incredibly vivid Louisiana Sky. Center on the piece is the iconic African House at Melrose Plantation, where Hunter painted her largest and most famous works as murals.
Signed with "CH" with iconic backwards C, the C and H are touching but not overlapping, signifying the artist's prime, 1960-1970.
Authenticated by world renowned Clementine Hunter expert Tom Whitehead, then purchased from an estate who purchased it directly from the artist.

- Israeli Judaica Shtetl "The Lesson" Rabbi Studying Scene Naive Art Oil PaintingBy Natan HeberLocated in Surfside, FLNatan Heber was trained by his father in Poland to be a ritual slaughterer. In 1925, he joined the Zionist movement "Mizrachi" and in 1936 immigrated to Palestine where he opened a poultry shop in Haifa. He began to paint at the age of sixty-one, after ill health forced him to retire. Driven by a need to memorialize his family and their shtetl community lost in the Holocaust, he drew scenes of traditional Jewish life. Unfamiliar with the conventions of scale and perspective, he set his heavily outlined frontal figures on steeply rising surfaces and often portrayed his father in monumental size to mark his importance. One of Israel's greatest naive-style painters. Along with Shalom of Safed, Kopel Gurwin and Gabriel Cohen, He is renowned as one of Israel's greatest living naive-style folk art painters, The Haifa Museum of Art will be opening the first ever Outsider Art exhibition (also known as Art Brut) in Israel in January 2013. He was included in the show of Outsider art at Haifa Museum The exhibition included works by Classical Outsider artists, none of them have ever been shown in Israel - Henry Darger, Martin Ramirez, Adolf Wölfli, Aloïse, Hauser, Carlo Zinnelli, Bill Traylor, Minnie Evans, William Hawkins and Sam...Category
