art talk
a conversation about fine and folk art
05/14/09
Anna Colquitt Hunter, (1892 - 1985) is one of our own Savannah heroes. A founding memeber of the Historic Savannah Foundation, she was also a reporter and art critic for the Savannah Morning News, and a Red Cross Field Director in North Africa during WWII. She began painting in her early fifties, because “in order to write about the arts, she needed to become a painter herself.” She painted Savannah scenes and residents at work and at play. Today, she might be considered an “Outsider.”
