EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Buckwheat Harvest, 1888" we are transported to the picturesque countryside of Brittany, France. The post-impressionist masterpiece by Emile Bernard captures a serene autumn scene filled with rich pictorial symbolism. Stretching across the vast landscape, golden fields of buckwheat sway gently in the breeze as diligent peasants meticulously gather their harvest. Each stook stands tall and proud, a testament to their hard work and dedication. The laborers' weathered faces tell stories of resilience and determination. Bernard's brushstrokes beautifully depict the essence of rural life in Brittany during this era. Known as "le ble noir" or black wheat due to its dark husk, buckwheat was a staple crop for these hardworking farmers. As we delve deeper into the painting's details, we uncover layers of meaning within its composition. The artist masterfully intertwines elements of nature with human labor, emphasizing man's connection to his environment and highlighting the importance of agriculture in sustaining communities. This remarkable piece from the Josefowitz Collection now resides in New York City, where it continues to inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and profound message about humanity's relationship with nature. Peter Willi expertly captures every nuance through his lens, preserving this extraordinary artwork for generations to come.
