Haystacks (Monet series)
''Haystacks'' is a title of a series of impressionist paintings by Claude Monet. The primary subjects of all of the paintings in the series are stacks of hay in the field after the harvest season. The title refers primarily to a twenty-five canvas series (Wildenstein Index Number 1266-1290) begun in the end of summer of 1890 and continued through the following spring, using that year's harvest. Some use a broader definition of the title to refer to other paintings by Monet with this same theme. The series is known for its thematic use of repetition to show differences in perception of light across various times of day, seasons, and types of weather. The subjects were painted in fields near Monet's home in Giverny, France.
The series is among Monet's most notable works. Although the largest collections of Monet's work is held in Paris at the Musée d'Orsay and Musée Marmottan Monet, other notable Monet collections are in Boston, Massachusetts at the Museum of Fine Arts, New York City at the Metropolitan Museum and Museum of Modern Art, and Tokyo at the National Museum of Western Art,〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2007-10-09 )〕 six of the twenty-five haystacks pieces in this series are currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, United States. In addition, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, United States holds two, and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France holds one. Other museums that hold parts of this series in their collection include: the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington, Connecticut (which also has one of five from the earlier 1888-9 harvest),〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2007-07-17 )〕 the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom,〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2007-07-03 )〕 the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Collections > Explore the Collection (Grainstack, Sun in the Mist) )〕 Kunsthaus Zürich in Zürich, Switzerland, and the Shelburne Museum, Shelburne, Vermont, United States.〔 〕 Several private collections also hold Haystack paintings.
==Monet background==
(詳細はGiverny in 1883. Most of his paintings from 1883 until his death 40 years later were of scenes within of his home. Indeed, the haystacks themselves were situated just outside his door.〔Tucker, p.87.〕 He was intensely aware of and fascinated by the visual nuances of the region’s landscape and the variation in the seasons.
Monet had already painted the same subject in different moods. However, as he matured as a painter, his depictions of atmospheric influences were increasingly concerned not only with specific effects, but with overall color harmonies that allowed for an autonomous use of rich color.〔House, page 127.〕 The conventional wisdom was that the compact, solid haystacks were both a simple subject and an unimaginative one. However, contemporary writers and friends of the artist noted that Monet's subject matter was always carefully chosen, the product of careful thought and analysis.〔Tucker, p.33.〕 Monet undertook a study of capturing their vibrance under direct light, and juxtaposing the same subject from the same view in more muted atmospheric conditions. It was not unusual for Monet to alter the canvases back in his studio, in search of harmonious transitions within the series.〔"It is worth remembering that the stacks were literally at his doorstep, as photographs of the area make clear 〕
