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.

Can't Live Without It
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Pawsitively Fresh
I live with two cats in a small apartment space and unfortunately, one of my litter boxes is by my front door. I'm always worried about people passing by in the hallway smelling the litter and when people first enter my apartment, this has been great to help relieve some of that smelly stress. Though I do have to frequently use it. I am able to use it around the cats' litter box without any issues of them avoiding it. While I do have to frequently use it, I guess that's a good thing because it's not eliminating the urine smell to discourage them from going into their litter box. The scent is not my favorite but I've also tried one of their other products for cats. There's the litter one and while I prefer the scent for that one, it just doesn't do the same job. This is it. This is the one. My cat has the smelliest poops, she's even woken me up with how smelly they are and I spray this once or twice and BAM everything is better for all of us.

Depends on where you're using it
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Pawsitively Fresh
It's great that veterinarians approve this product as one of the safer options for pets. It smells good and it does the job as good or better than others I've tried. The reason I won't continue to use it is that it is a heavy liquid and when you spray it into the air, falls to your floor very quickly. On tile, it leaves a shiny oily "wet" patch that can make the tile slippery which is dangerous and on carpet, since it is oily, I assume that dirt will quickly adhere to those areas forcing a carpet cleaning in a short amount of time. I happen to have cream carpet.
