Vallée du Morin en juin- Ferme de Tigeaux 

Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac's watercolor painting captures a verdant view of the Vallée du Morin, complete with a traditional French farm. The artist renders haystacks, humble stacks of dried grass. These forms carry a resonance far beyond their humble appearance. These haystacks, echoing the forms of ancient burial mounds, evoke a deep connection to the land and cycles of life. Consider the Neolithic tumuli, structures for the dead that dotted the European landscape. The similarities are uncanny. Haystacks resurface through art history, notably in Monet's series. These images aren't simply about rural life; they tap into our collective memory, a yearning for connection with nature's cycles and the past. They serve as powerful anchors, reminding us of the enduring human relationship with the earth. It is a cycle without end.
