That’s one of his famous paintings, The Apple Pickers, painted in 1886 in the classic style of Pointillism which was also used by Seurat and Van Gogh. The original is not in Europe but actually hanging in the Ohara Museum of Art in Kurashiki, Japan.

But what would Pissaro have thought of this scene.

Even to me, who has always heavily been into technology, and has seen this coming for a long time as robotics and computers improved by leaps and bounds, there is something creepy, eerie, unearthly about that video.

You can make anything into art, we have entire museums filled with things like toilet bowls and paint splatters on walls, or even monochrome “paintings” to prove that, and of course there are artists who have painted or drawn science fiction scenes of robots for book covers and the like for decades now (although even there AI is beating them) so perhaps some artist somewhere will look at this and find a way to become the avant-garde.

But I think Pissaro would have turned away from this simply because there is nothing human here, aside the creation itself, crafted by unseen people.
