Description
Claude Monet’s Oat Field, also called Champ d’avoine, painted in 1890 is a significant example of the artist’s obsession with atmospheric lighting. The rhythmic yet broken brushstrokes exhibited in this work are archetypal of the Impressionist style, leaving behind a highly decorative and emotive take on landscape painting. It depicts the artist’s yard at Giverny, with mature oats and poppies against a bright blue sky. This vertical rendition has very vibrrant colors that draw the eye upward. For lovers of Monet, this scene represents the height of the artist’s studies at Giverny and hangs in the Harn Museum of art in Florida.
