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.

Like to snuggle up in soft warm blankets? This one's for you
Color: Grey, Size: King (108" x 90")
I purchased this after the one I had previously received as a gift was ruined. That's how much I love this blanket. It doesn't get that weird rougher texture after washing that some of these fleece blankets get. It's ridiculously soft and so warm and comforrtable. The sizing is totally accurate and I slept like a toasty warm baby using this product. It's a blanket so use is self explanatory. Put it on your bed or couch or wherever you want and snuggle in for warmth and comfort. It's a very high quality product for a very reasonable, even affordable price. If you like high quality products that everyone can afford then this is the blanket for you. This even improved the quality of my sleep. It does have some stretch, but it's not overly stretchy. Believe me, this blanket would be a welcome addition to your home.

Very good but not amazing
Color: Bright Gold, Size: Queen (90" X 90")
Not the most amazing blanket possible but pretty close. The only negative I can think of is that it's a bit thinner than I expected, besides that it is quite comfortable, smooth, soft and visually appealing.

SO SOFT & cozy without being super heavy
Color: Grey, Size: California King (102" X 96")
I’m picky about blankets because some fleece ones either feel cheap or make you way too hot, but this one is actually really nice. It’s really soft, washes well, and has that cozy feel without feeling overly thick or heavy. I got the California King size and it’s actually big enough to fully cover the bed without constantly fighting for blanket.

My perfect summer blanket
Color: Grey, Size: King (108" x 90")
I had 0 expectations for this blanket and I was pleasantly surprised. This blanket is very lightweight, much like the novelty throw blankets you find in the kids section. It's very soft, compared to chinchilla fur. Incredibly soft and it didn't make me hot. Nor did it keep me cool. For me, it's the perfect blanket for summer weather. So far, the quality seems really nice and it fits my needs as a king size.

Soft, lightweight, warm and long blanket
Color: 04 - Cream, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70")
Very nice blanket. It's soft and long enough to cover you when laying on the sofa and warm. It also washes and dries well on warm water normal dry. I highly recommend this blanket
