Dans les blés – (Berthe Morisot) Previous Next


Artist:

Museum: Intercéréales (Paris, France)

Technique: Oil On Canvas

With Berthe Morisot, the same theme is illustrated. The canvas depicts a rural landscape on the outskirts of Gennevilliers in the manner of a Japanese print structured in horizontal registers. Rejecting, with the other impressionists of her time, any idealization of reality, she points out the smokestacks of an industry that is gradually nibbling away at the fields of the Parisian suburbs, against the yellow mass of ears of corn. As for the character, he is an enigma. Wearing a hat and a bundle on his shoulder, we do not know if he belongs to this place or if he discovers it with us.
