About the Item
Artist: Clementine Hunter (1886-1988)
Medium: Oil Paint on Board
Date: c. 1965
Movement/Style: Outsider Art
Dimensions: 17.5" x 13.5"
Additional Notes: This original Clementine Hunter painting was authenticated by Tom Whitehead. Hunter (1887-1988) was a self-taught Black outsider artist born in Louisiana who lived and worked on the Melrose Plantation, one of the largest estates built by and for free Blacks.
She spent the first half of her life as a laborer, and never had the opportunity to learn how to read or write. Starting in the 1940s, she began painting what has been described as complex depictions of Black Southern life in the early 20th Century.
Despite her earlier works selling for as little as 25 cents, she lived long enough to see her pieces exhibited in museums and being sold by renowned art dealers for thousands of dollars.
After a lifetime of producing upwards of 5,000-10,000 paintings, in 1986 she was granted an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts by Northwestern State University of Louisiana.

Wedding (Authenticated Clementine Hunter Framed Black Folk Art Painting)
Located in New Orleans, LA
The first thing to ask about any Clementine is: is it authentic. Yes, there are fakes, and paintings by her son that are mistaken for (or presented as) hers. I won't touch anything by her that hasn't been verified, and this one has been verified by the #1 Clementine expert, Tom Whitehead. Of course it has my own guarantee as well; I have sold many Clementines. You can find fakes at auction houses (many of them outside of the New Orleans area) and other venues that don't ask questions, for a lot less money, but don't be fooled!
Now, about the painting. This one has a clear, wonderful provenance, which is unusual for these. Weddings were a common theme for Hunter, but this one has a specific history. It was gifted to Mr. and Mrs. Merrill by Ann and Jack Brittain in 1967 as a wedding present; then went by descent to the estate of Mary Jane "Cookie" Grace Merrill of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 18" x 24", slightly larger with frame. I will be including a free copy of the hardcover book (show in photo) by Art Shiver and Tom Whitehead about Clementine (Whitehead is the expert who verified this painting). Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee of satisfaction.
