“The critic J.-K. Huysmans praised Pissarro’s approach, stating: ‘From close up [the painting] is like brickwork, a strange wrinkled [patchwork], a stew of colours of all kinds covering the canvas with lilac, Naples yellow, madder-red, and green; at a distance, it is the air that moves, it is the sky that is boundless, it is nature that palpitates…’ (Joris-Karl Huysmans, ‘L’exposition des indépendants en 1881,’ cited in Charles Moffett, The New Painting: Impressionism 1874-1886, Washington, D.C., 1986, p. 347).”

Nineteenth century rural France, always a human element, a social element… love Pissarro.
