and van Gogh’s The Sower In this essay I will compare and contrast two paintings. The first is Grainstack (Sunset)‚ painted by Claude Monet in 1891.

Evaluation of 29th Street Café 29th Street Café is a small privately owned diner that is located near my home. It has been open for as long as I can remember.
