Abrams/The National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, 230 pages, $50; $35 paper. ISBN 1-85437-702-7 July 16 to October 15, 2006 By JOSEPH PHELAN Henri Rousseau The Hungry Lion Throws itself on the Antelope oil on canvas, 79-3/8 x 118-3/4 inches Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/ Basel An unlikely figure to have become an important artist in a period when the academic establishment still dominated French painting, Rousseau was born into a petit bourgeoisie family in Laval and was completely self taught as far as his artistic development was concerned. Lacking the web of social and academic connections which often determine artistic success in the metropolis, Rousseau had to rely on his own inner drive and native talent. Determined to win honor and glory with the conservative academic establishment, Rousseau took early retirement from his job as a toll collector at the age forty-nine in order to fully devote himself to the art of painting. While the official apotheosis he desired never came to pass, the story that did play out proved to be much more important for the history of modern art. If he never learned how to stay within the rules of the game he aspired to play, his version of the game was so fantastic that it opened up new and vital artistic possibilities for the modernists who embraced him and his work.

Pipes water                            Sylvia Plath, “Snakecharmer” Critics called him “naïve,” the term for painters with no formal training in art. Henri Rousseau, self-made late-bloomer from Laval, France, fit the definition. But his work proved that in art as in all ventures, training, though valuable, is not the key ingredient—not as key perhaps as talent, inspiration, or originality. Untrained in art but not uneducated by the standards of his day, Rousseau was a teacher and a military man. He was interested in politics and the realm of ideas. He knew music and poetry and even tried his hand as playwright. Dubbed “Le Douanier” (customs officer) after his main occupation outside art, he struggled in anonymity until near the end of his life, when he was discovered by Pablo Picasso and others and was recognized for his powerful individual style ( Like other naïve or primitive artists, Rousseau found art late in life. He took up painting as a hobby and soon retired from his job in the customs office to devote time to this new vocation. He copied the masters, struggled to learn their craft (particularly the academic style of Ingres), and aspired to paint like them. He exhibited often at the Salon des Indépendents in Paris, where artists could show their paintings without selection restrictions, and what he might have lost to technical clumsiness he seemed to make up in ingenuous charm. Although his work is difficult to categorize, he seems to have been influenced by his contemporary Paul Gauguin and his followers, the Nabis, who promoted directness of feeling and color harmony (

Henri Rousseau Home Impressionism Amer. Impressionism ... Resources Ben Shechet, Princeton Class of 2009 The paintings of Henri Rousseau present a singular puzzle on the timeline of art history. He is claimed by no school, yet to him are attributed characteristics of every modern style from Fauvism to Surrealism to Dada. Rousseau’s works, such as the iconic The Sleeping Gypsy (1897) seem to fit into no particular niche. Rousseau described this painting with an understated humility in a letter to the mayor of his hometown of Laval: A wandering negress, playing the mandolin, with her jar beside her (vase containing drinking water), sleeps deeply worn out by fatigue. A lion wanders by, detects her and doesn’t devour her. There is an effect of moonlight, very poetic. The scene takes place in a completely arid desert. The gipsy is dressed in oriental fashion.” (qtd Alley 45) The Exhibit Naive, Or a Convincing Pretender? Sublime and Feral Exposed! Surprising Indeed... ...

DISCUSS Indepth Arts News: "Henri Rousseau: Jungles in Paris" 2006-07-16 until 2006-10-15 National Gallery of Art Washington, DC, USA The late-blooming career of Henri Rousseau (1844-1910), a self-taught French artist and savvy connoisseur of popular culture in the late 19th century, will be showcased in the first major American retrospective of the artist’s work in 20 years. Henri Rousseau: Jungles in Paris, on view at the National Gallery of Art, East Building, July 16 through October 15, 2006—the only U.S. venue—celebrates the broad range of his work: landscapes of Paris and environs, allegories, portraits, as well as the largest grouping ever assembled of his iconic jungle paintings. An extensive display of more than 100 documents, popular ephemera, and other source material will shed light on Rousseau’s artistic ambitions, working method, and the world he inhabited. The exhibition was on view at Tate Modern, November 3, 2005 through February 5, 2006, and the Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, March 15 through June 19, 2006. “Henri Rousseau: Jungles in Paris presents a rare opportunity to explore the work of this intriguing artist and to understand how it set the stage for some of the groundbreaking innovations of modernism,” said Earl A. Powell III, director, National Gallery of Art. “We are proud to present this dynamic exhibition with loans from public and private collections worldwide to the American public.”

Auguste Renoir Henri Rousseau Raphael Sanzio Georges Seurat Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec Vincent Van Gogh Henri Rousseau Henri Rousseau was born to a poor tinsmith and his wife in northwestern France. He was not a very good student and showed no particular talent for art when he was young. On days off from his job as a customs agent, Rousseau taught himself to paint. At 41, he quit his job so he could paint fulltime. To make ends meet, he taught music and art to people in his neighborhood; at times he even resorted to playing his violin on street corners. Rousseau was quite poor yet he always shared what little he had with others. Towards the end of his life, art collectors began to buy his paintings, but he sold them for very little and died a pauper at 66.

A major exhibition Critics ridiculed Rousseau as not a serious artist (as critics will, being such a broad-minded, egalitarian and generous group as a whole), and called him Le Douanier His paintings, though, speak undeniably of their own power. His fantastic images of intense jungles and wild beasts (based on books and visits to the botanical gardens, he never left France) resonate with us on some instinctual level. He not only developed his own artistic style, but his own unconventional methods of painting, applying the colors one at a time, painting in layers of content (sky first, then other background elements, finishing with foreground subjects) and working the canvas methodically from the top down.

You know the type. He's the guy at your high school reunion who just quit his job (dull to start with) and cut loose from his family (wife deceased, kids farmed out to relatives), in order to devote himself entirely to his art. And when you see that gleam in his eye, you don't need to ask what kind of art. This type never wants to be a conceptual artist, exhibiting piles of toenail clippings or streaking through the financial district on a skateboard. Nor an installation artist, re-creating his own grungy bathroom in an even grungier downtown gallery. And definitely not a transgressive artist, running dead rats up flagpoles or nailing plastic Nazis to a cross. The Great Artist wannabe is typically just that - a Sunday painter with no real training, who earnestly believes that hard work and exalted thoughts will turn him into Titian ... or at least, William Bouguereau. Did Henri Rousseau fit this bill? In a way, yes. It was definitely a clueless amateur who painted the dreary small landscapes of suburban Paris now filling one room of the Rousseau exhibition at the National Gallery. If you favor the postmodernist erasure of the line between high and low art, then you'll enjoy seeing daubs such as The Environs of Paris (1909), Banks of the Oise (1905), and Ivry Quay (1907) given the same royal treatment as the Venetian masters on display in the West Building. If you'd prefer not to see that line erased, then your reaction will be closer to that of the Paris Salon-goers who, accustomed to the lofty subject matter and polished technique of the Academy of Fine Arts, scoffed at Rousseau's doltishness.
