"Fishing" is a 1966 painting by Clementine Hunter, a self-taught African American artist known for her depictions of rural life in Louisiana. Hunter's simple, yet expressive style is evident in this vibrant work, which features four pairs of figures fishing from red canoes on a blue, rippling river. The painting captures the tranquility and beauty of nature, while also highlighting the importance of community and shared experiences. Hunter's art is a testament to the enduring power of folk art and the unique perspectives of everyday life.
