Wheatstacks, Snow Effect, Morning

'Haystack (Effect of Snow, Morning)' (1891) is one of the roughly 25 canvases of Claude Monet's 'Meules' series, all painted of the same pair of wheat stacks outside his Giverny home under differing seasons, weather, and times of day. The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles holds the 'snow effect, morning' version — the two stacks standing beneath a pale pink frosted sky. Exhibited in 1891 in Paris, the series decisively shaped Monet's reputation and directly influenced Cézanne and, a generation later, Kandinsky.
