Henri Rousseau - Paintings

Henri Rousseau was a French painter whose nickname was “Le Douanier” because of his profession as a customs officer. He was a representative of naive painting in the transition to the modern age.
Born: 21 May 1844 in Laval
Died: 02 September 1910 in Paris
Henri Julien Félix Rousseau, who is a well-known painter today, retires at the age of 40 to devote himself to painting. He is an autodidact and his work consists of the copying of the paintings in the Louvre museum. From 1886 onwards, Rousseau’s colorful, donnishly exactly painted paintings are shown at the Salon des Indépendants. Like other artists of the beginning modernity, Henri Rousseau has a unique style that is initially rejected by the public. Today this artist falls entirely out of context of his time. He cannot be compared with any of his artist colleagues with his primitive and yet so impressive painting. The image “Storm in the Jungle”, created in 1891, forms the beginning of a series of jungle images that show figures in front of a dense, magically acting jungle landscape. Rousseau's most famous work “The Dream of Yadwiga” from 1910 shows such a dreamlike world.
