The Golden Harvest, or Yellow Haystacks

By Paul Gauguin, 1889
This work was painted during Gauguin’s third sojourn in Brittany, after the notorious episode with van Gogh at Arles. He was desperate for public recognition, to prove himself in the eyes of his estranged wife Mette Sophie Gad.
Returning to Brittany for the summer, he sought quiet at the small fishing village of Le Pouldu. During his time in Le Pouldu, Gauguin lived cheaply, relishing the connections between people and land, and the archaic way of life. He often returned to the theme of the haystack, or to views of the harvesting of seaweed. Gauguin sought to express harsh, primitive aspects of the Breton landscape through technique as well as subject. The dry, matt, even rustic technique—the texture of the haystack, whitewashed walls, grassy mound and ground strewn with straw—is applied to advantage in this work.
The female figures in traditional Breton costume are dwarfed by the huge mass of the hay; indeed, standing on her step ladder, the woman at right seems about to be engulfed by the stack.
Location: Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France
