洗衣日

Many of Moses" earliest paintings had drawn on traditional American themes, such as "Catching the Thanksgiving Turkey" or "Sugaring Off". Moses chose these subjects because they reflected her personal experience, and it was this experience, as well as her keen observation of the surrounding landscape, that gave new life to these relatively dated images. As she grew more artistically confident, however, she began to craft paintings that were based more directly and completely on her own memories. Wash Day is such an image.
