Haymaking - a hundred years ago or so

Haying, Denmark, 1911 - Denmark in Maine, that is

Imagine what life was all about a hundred years ago. Animals ate fresh grass and hay, the food that humans could not eat. Then turned it into lovely, healty meat. Now let's feed our minds with some art:


 Haymaking - Albert Henry Fullwood (1863-1930)

Makes me want to go to Australia - or at least travel around Europe to see his art works displayed.


 The Haymaker - Edvard Munch (1863-1923)

Two years ago I saw an art exhitition in Paris with some of his works. They were very colorful, very cheerful and made me cry


Sunset with haystacks, field in Hornbaek  - Laurits Tuxen (1853-1927) 
sold at Bruun Rasmussen Auctions May 2011

I wish I could buy all his paintings!


Chickens among haystacks - Helene Schjerfbeck (1862-1946)

This artist is known for her paintings of sad-looking women. No sad women in this picture, only happy chicks


Haystacks 1912 - Simon Hollosy (1857-1918)

Interesting pear-shaped stacks. They look sad, though


Haystacks at Giverny 1884- Claude Monet (1840-1926)

And of course no hay paintings without a Monet. 
This really makes me want to take off to Giverny right away.
