Description

Image of Lucy May Stanton's painting entitled Churning. The painting depicts an African American woman churning butter. Stanton made several paintings of "Aunt Liza," one of her neighbors in Athens, Georgia, including this work. In each, Aunt Liza is shown with a brooding expression, dressed in a headscarf and shawl. The solid, modeled forms of the figure, drapery, and furniture are achieved with an economy of large brushstrokes.
