1892
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
There is corn in the sea! is a 1892 by Jean-Louis Forain, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two people walking on a beach at dusk. One wears a light dress and carries a bundle, while the other leans forward in rough clothes, looking down. The water is calm, and the sky is dark with loose, smudgy brushstrokes. The title, *"There is corn in the sea!"*, hints at something odd or playful—maybe a joke about impossible things. The loose, sketchy style suggests it was done quickly, possibly outside. If you like this style, look up Impressionism next.
Jean-Louis Forain (French pronunciation: ; 23 October 1852 – 11 July 1931) was a French Impressionist painter and printmaker, working in media including oils, watercolour, pastel, etching and lithograph.
