Haystacks
c. 1882
Before Georges Seurat became the king of tiny dots, he was busy mastering light with this moody row of haystacks. Painted around 1882, this piece shows his early love for Impressionism, using loose, scratchy brushstrokes to capture the hazy atmosphere of the French countryside. It’s a fascinating sneak peek at how one of art history's most meticulous planners started out just playing with color and shadow!
