1915
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Javelles de Seigle, Crèvecoeur is a 1915 by Auguste Lepère, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two people working in a field of tall grass. One is bending over, maybe tying bundles, while the other leans on a long pole. In the background, a few trees and a distant village sit on a slight hill. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and light. The scene feels busy but calm, like a quiet day in the countryside. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this drawing in person.
Louis-Auguste Lepère (30 November 1849 – 20 November 1918) was a French painter and etcher. Lepère is also considered a leader in the creative revival of wood engraving in Europe.
