It's art

[edit]

.. but it's amazing that so much can be written about such an amateurish work. Where is the criticism? 76.253.72.116 (talk) 00:16, 30 August 2015 (UTC)Eric[reply]

Harvesters
Harvesters is a 1905 oil painting on canvas by the Danish artist Anna Ancher, a member of the artists' community known as the Skagen Painters. Unlike many works of the community, this painting depicts not the fishing activities in Skagen, but a man and two women on their way to start the harvest in the fields. Owing to its depiction of a bountiful harvest and a scythe, the work has been interpreted as juxtaposing life and death. The painting is in the collection of Skagens Museum.Painting: Anna Ancher
