Title: Haystacks, Midday (Claude Monet)
Medium: Acrylic/Paper Mache'
Dimensions: 18"h x 28"w
Claude Monet's Haystacks series captures the same humble stacks of straw in shifting light, weather, and seasons. Rather than treating them as simple rural scenery, Monet used the haystacks as a way to explore color, atmosphere, and the passing of time. The series has become one of his most celebrated studies of perception and changing light.
