1884
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Burning the Grass is a 1884 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a person bent over, lighting grass on fire. The figure’s body is hunched, and their hand holds a flame. The ground is rough, with patches of grass and some faint lines in the background. The artist used quick, loose lines to show movement and energy. This style fits the Realism movement, which focused on everyday scenes. Next, check out Alphonse Legros, the artist who made this sketch.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
