Clementine Hunter (1886-1988)
"It is that relationship with the dead that is an instigation in all my
work back to the Vietnam War.
Even as a child, my contact with the sense of death in the Civil War was
intimate and primal.
The sense of the presence of war and death has been essential in my life."
