Courage is
to love life — and to carry
without seeing the path
Le porteur de foin is a large oil painting. A man in a shirt and light trousers carries an enormous mass of hay on his shoulders, which entirely hides his head and fills the upper part of the painting.
The body disappears under the load: the figure becomes the gesture itself. Sébastien Bonin gives this ordinary farm work, repeated every season, the scale of a monumental image.
