The Impressionist work "Haystacks 01. Monet" by collector Wu Zhixiong showcases Monet's keen insight into light, shadow, and natural colors. This piece depicts golden-orange haystacks, with a background of blurred trees and a distant sky, demonstrating Monet's unique technique of light perception. Monet's portrayal of natural scenes, particularly the color variations under sunlight, brings the image to life with a sense of poetry. The brushstrokes on the canvas are free and expressive, representing a breakthrough from the strict painting styles of the time, perfectly embodying the rebellious spirit against traditional art norms mentioned by Monet in his writings.
