After visiting
Vision and Inspiration at the Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury, Connecticut, I was content and maybe a little hungry, so I almost ignored the small gallery near the exit which announced an exhibit entitled
The Way We Worked. I am so very glad I did not!
Inside this small gallery there were actually two displays one which explored how work became "a central element in American culture", while the other part of the exhibit was a sampling of the paintings by
Anna Held Audette, a Connecticut artist and educator who before her death in 2013 painted industrial ruins and abandoned machinery. It is always extraordinarily gratifying to see the work of a women artist in the spotlight especially when the work is so interesting and unique.
