Doris Lee, Siesta, 1944; Oil on canvas, 27 x 36 in.; National Museum of Women in the Arts

"Midwestern-born artist Doris Emrick Lee (1905-1983), who studied in Paris and Kansas City, came to sudden fame in 1935 after one of her paintings won a prestigious award at the Art Institute of Chicago. Some thought “Thanksgiving” a bit cartoonish and provincial, but it was hugely popular with ordinary folks mired in the Depression, reminding them of a simpler time.

Working in Woodstock, N.Y., where she established herself as a leader in that artists’ colony, Lee became one of the most popular painters of the Depression era. She later turned to illustration and some commercial work."

MWW Artwork of the Day (11/22/18) Doris Emrick Lee (American, 1905–1983) Thanksgiving (c. 1935) Oil on canvas, 71.3 x 101.8 cm. The Art Institute of Chicago (Logan Purchase Prize Fund)

Though largely forgotten today, Doris Lee was one of the most successful female artists of the Depression era in the United States.  During the 1930s, the U.S. Treasury Department commissioned her to create several murals by the in Washington DC, one of which still graces the Main Post Office. In 1936 the Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired her painting "Catastrophe" for its permanent collection.  During the late 1940s and early 1950s, Lee undertook several commissions for Life magazine, including articles and illustrations on travel to such places as North Africa, Mexico, and Cuba.

But it was this bustling scene of women preparing a Thanksgiving feast that, for a time, made her a household name.  In 1935, it became the object of national headlines when it was first exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute and won the prestigious Logan Medal of the Arts. The themes of Thanksgiving, rural customs, and family life, which Lee painted in a deliberately folksy manner, would have had great appeal to a country still in the midst of the national devastation of the Great Depression. Her painting offered a quaint model of domesticity that appealed to those who were tired of the complication of modern life in the 1930s. To a generation exhausted with the trials of economic hard times, the return to a simpler past became more desirable as the search for a new national identity continued. Her work received public and critical acclaim for its earthy qualities and sense of humor. One critic described her paintings as “fresh, with the charm of innocence.” Thanksgiving celebrates the joys of family ties. The bustling kitchen is filled with life and love as a group of women prepares the annual feast.
