ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
With over forty objects drawn from the Graves Family private collection and three LSU entities, the LSU Museum of Art, the LSU Rural Life Museum, and the Alexandria Museum of Art, the exhibition provides a glimpse into the life of one of Louisiana’s most renowned artists. Hunter’s paintings are a visual diary. She used art as a vehicle to preserve not only her own personal memories and feelings, but also the scenes and activities of everyday life on an evolving Southern plantation. Cherished explores many of Hunter’s most repeated patterns, subjects, and motifs—brightly colored zinnias, church scenes, and women picking cotton—bringing together multiple examples to highlight the subtle variations found in individual compositions. Each artwork embodies the artist’s unique style, celebrating her love of community, tradition, and family.
