Claude Monet

Haystacks, End of Summer

US$ 645.00

Two grainstacks stand in a stubble field under late warm light, their shadows stretching blue across the ground toward the viewer. Monet painted around twenty-five canvases of the same stacks outside his house at Giverny through one autumn and winter, chasing the changes in light rather than any interest in the stacks themselves. The series sold out almost immediately and made him financially secure.

Artist

Claude Monet (1840-1926) began the grainstack series in 1890 and it became the model for everything that followed in his career — the same motif painted again and again under different conditions. Kandinsky later wrote that seeing one of these canvases in Moscow, and not immediately recognising the subject, was what first suggested to him that a painting need not depict anything. The series is a hinge in the history of modern art.
