Description
Henri Rousseau was a Paris customs clerk who pursued his dream of becoming an artist at 49. His early bright and bold paintings were initially dismissed as childish, but he persevered to develop a unique style that eventually won acclaim. Rousseau's vibrant palette and vivid rendering are characteristic of his work, which often features lush, languid scenes of jungle landscapes and exotic subjects. Despite never traveling abroad, he drew inspiration from books, magazines, and museum visits. Today, Rousseau is recognized as an unlikely hero of modernism, alongside artists like Cézanne, Matisse, and Gauguin. This book provides a dependable introduction to Rousseau's life and legacy, exploring the factors that contributed to his success and enduring influence on art history.
