The book reviews the life and work of Henri Rousseau (1844-1910), a customs officer and self-taught painter. It explains how his naïve style, with flat figures, simple landscapes and ornamental jungles with animals and exotic figures, went from being ridiculed to fascinating the avant-gardes. It also addresses his relationship with Picasso and his place in modern art.
The title belongs to TASCHEN's Basic Art series. The original work dates from 1991; this English edition came out in 2001.
For readers seeking a first approach to Henri Rousseau and naïve painting, with a brief overview in the line of the Basic Art series.
