After the sizeable work The Sower (Sejalec) of 1907, Grohar’s painting style gravitated towards more symbolically predicated works, with a color palette adapted thereto. Potato Harvest (Krompir) emblemizes the zenith of this period. Here, Grohar channeled his artistic sense for monumental composition into figural composition. In a pyramidal composition, standing firm upon the ground with legs spread wide, a gigantic standing male figure in the middle of a field has a basket slung over his shoulder and is shaking potatoes into a sack held in front of him by a kneeling woman. Grohar’s composition and kneeling woman highlight the ritualistic nature of the agrarian task as something holy, as work of high moral standard, namely preserving the abundant fruits of the year’s hard work. His strokes were broad and long, creating impressive swatches of blue and violet tones. To capture the light and related effects, Grohar employed what was for him a new technique, with a layer of glazing in white hues. This painting was the only piece of Slovenian art exhibited at the World Exposition, Rome, in 1912.
