Haystacks, Pink and Blue Impressions (Meules, effet rose et bleu), 1891 by Claude Monet

Haystacks, Pink and Blue Impressions, painted by Claude Monet in 1891, dissolves the solid form of a haystack into a shimmering veil of pink and blue tones, capturing a fleeting moment of atmospheric light with the fluid, broken brushwork of his mature Impressionist style. Part of the celebrated Meules series begun near Giverny in 1890, the work exemplifies Monet's radical proposition that the same motif, observed at a different hour, becomes an entirely new painting, the haystack merely a pretext for an extraordinary study in colour.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1891.
