Description

Henri Rousseau (1844–1910) is one of the leading figures of Naïve art, known for his unique style that combines apparent technical ingenuity with a powerful visual imagination. His works, marked by a pronounced exoticism and a deliberately childlike awkwardness, anticipate features of the 20th-century avant-garde. From his celebrated jungle scenes to portraits and cityscapes, Rousseau created his own universe, full of mystery and symbolism, always faithful to a simple yet profoundly evocative aesthetic. His legacy continues to fascinate for its authenticity and its unique perspective on the world.
