While searching for an art work from the New Deal, I discovered that quite a few pieces depict advances in technology or postal services. This piece depicts a more familiar moment- a woman waiting for the mail. While many pieces of this time seem busy, crowded, or "anxious"- I feel that this piece is more relaxing and familiar.

Myself I've always been intrigued with middle-class america as a topic for any artwork. I could go on complimenting the fine craftsmanship of the artist, but I've always leant to appreciate subject topic more. I belive this accurately portrays the monotony on middle america.
