André Hardy, (1887-1986) The Harvest

André Hardy exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français. His painting is characterized by a visceral attraction for the landscape, for the terroir which is one of the most positive aspects of painting in France since the school of Barbizon until today. Hardy sympathized and worked with Paul Émile Pissaro. Hardy's essential merit is the sharpness of his gaze and the quality of his drawing and color.
