WORKING MADONNA (1949) To the bottom

Claude Clark has born on a Georgia tenant farm, and often accompanied his mother to the cotton field as a child. He picked cotton with his champion, hard working mother (who could pick more cotton in a day than most men). but, often he helped to pacify his younger brother in a wooden crate cradle.

Since that time, Clark has seen Madonna at horn in many corners of the world. Heading a basket of laundry, washing clothes, ironing, farming, cooking and canning food in the Caribbean, Mexico, Africa and Egypt, he watched them go burdened to the market place. Most here able and gifted at commerce and business.

In the country of Togo in West Africa, a mother continued to trade as she casually nursed her child at the market. In Ibadan, Nigeria, a woman had to remove a child from the sling on her back in pursuit, as he expected to be with her always. Not far away,a lean Madonna was heading 12ft. boards of lumber, swinging her arms and legs as she breezed up the path to the building site. Another had a load of firewood,and still others carried on their produce, a jar of hater or grain.

Clark said: "Among my peoples, I have never seen a Madonna enthroned, but I have seen (including my mother) many Madonna feeding the young nation while she is under a heavy load." ---------------------- (framed work looks like this!)
