Guillaumin exhibited at the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874 and continued to be one of the most interesting members of the Impressionist group.  His paintings of grain stacks, generally called haystacks, were made at the same time as Monet’s, in 1890. 

 

As early as 1881 a reviewer called Guillaumin “a ferocious colorist.”  In this painting, the broad brushstrokes of bold color are already moving away from Impressionism and toward the future—foreshadowing the expressionistic use of color by artists such as Gauguin, van Gogh, and even Matisse.
