Annie Lee's "Blue Monday" was one of her most iconic works, depicting a weary Black woman hunched over her washing basin on Monday morning. The painting resonated deeply with African American audiences who recognized this scene of domestic labor, drawing from Lee's own experiences as a single mother who worked multiple jobs to support her family. The artwork's emotional authenticity and relatable subject matter helped establish Lee as a significant voice in African American art.

Lee created "Blue Monday" while working as a chief clerk for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad, where she spent 23 years before pursuing art full-time. The painting's success led to widespread reproductions and helped launch her career as a professional artist, enabling her to open her own gallery and art company. Though she had no formal art training, Lee's ability to capture everyday moments in Black life with dignity and humor made "Blue Monday" and her subsequent works highly sought, particularly among middle-class African American collectors.

Lee's work was categorized as "Black Americana" because it documented and celebrated authentic aspects of African American life and culture, particularly from the mid-to-late 20th century. Her paintings captured the genuine experiences, traditions, and daily rituals of Black Americans, preserving these moments as historical artifacts that spoke to the Black community's struggles and resilience. Unlike earlier problematic "Americana" depictions of Black life, Lee's work presented these scenes from an insider's perspective, with dignity, understanding, and often touches of knowing humor that resonated deeply with Black audiences while also educating wider audiences about authentic African American experiences. 

This work of art is available framed or unframed. The framed version ships framed and ready to hang in a black 2-inch frame. Perfect for any fan of African American art or the late great Annie Lee.

love love loved it
I am now 55 years old and i love shinny stuff, so i decided I wanted glitter for my hair. I found this and am in love. It is very fine glitter and it just goes on my hair every so subtly. It catches the sun just right and i sparkle just like my personality. Not too much too look crazy just enough to look nice. Looks good on the arms and legs too for a night of dancing.

Need base to use it
The bottles are well made and cute. There is plenty of glitter in them for whatever you need. HOWEVER- the glitter does not stick to your clothing or skin very well. I recommend some form of base to allow it to stick to you better. I applied lotion to my arms and neck, and that seemed to do the trick.

Goes on plentiful, but doesn't stay.
I enjoyed this glitter when I first applied it, but it falls off even if you use lotion or something to stick it to your face. It would be great to use as pixi dust, but not for facial glitter. I use a more dense glitter for my face to make sure it shows up. I use it in my hair, and that stays for a while, but it takes a lot to show up/ The containers are cute though and don't get clogged. There is no scent to it, which I am happy about because I did not want scent.
