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.

Here is one of my "new" favorite Danish artists. I have just purchased a collection of drawings by Julius Paulsen. It turned out to be some prepatory studies for paintings, and I am now doing research. Some of the works I will soon put up for sale.

The last of the early summer days

Thinking about going to Skagen. Thinking about the Skagen painter P.S. Kroyer and his beautiful wife Marie. And his faithful dog named Rap. Where is Rap by the way? Too few knitted pink pigs in art!

The knitted pink pig search party at Skagen. Nor is Rap the dog anywhere in sight...

 Nothing but blue skies

But someone found this photo in a Nordic Attic
