HENRI ROUSSEAU Rousseau, Autorretrato como pintor, 1889-1890, óleo sobre lienzo, 143 x 110,5 cm. Biografía: Nació en el seno de una familia modesta. Tras haber marchado al ejército, compagina su faceta de saxofonista con su trabajo en las aduanas; de ahí el que se le conozca como Rousseau "el aduanero". Como soldado, tuvo acceso a relatos de los soldados franceses expatriados de México, surge entonces su primer mito personal: hizo creer, o se creyó él mismo que conocía la selva y que había estado en América. En 1893 se jubila y se vuelca por completo en la pintura. Desde 1884 existía en París el Salón de los artistas Independientes que posibilitaba tendencias nuevas. Era evidente que su pintura no podía haber alcanzado los filtros de la Academia. Rousseau no se ganó la vida como pintor pero, él nunca se sintió "pintor dominguero", sino que se sentía pintor por encima de todo. Trabajó al margen de las corrientes cultas vigentes, se mantiene dentro de una pintura limitada, es autodidacta, sin formación. Su pintura se diferencia de la culta en la técnica más tosca y en los contenidos. Le gustaba servirse de fotografías y libros ilustrados pasados de moda para configurar sus pinturas. Aspiraba a una carrera de éxitos dentro de los cauces más tradicionales. Los rasgos de una cándida inocencia: Contornos definidos con mucha precisión.

peinture(s) Back Photos "The emergence of Rousseau is an isolated fact separate from the day to day development of art; Rousseau's painting is totally foreign to every contemporary school, whether oldfashioned or avant garde." And even Philippe Soupault, who was passionately devoted to Rousseau, refused to place his work in historical perspective. Tristan Tzara, however, equally devoted to the Douanier, was able to analyze his work more acutely and to understand the role it played in twentieth century art.

Rousseau, Henri T IMELINE Art of the Fantastic Rousseau, Henri , known as Le Douanier Rousseau (1844-1910). French painter, the most celebrated of naïve artists. His nickname refers to the job he held with the Paris Customs Office (1871-93), although he never actually rose to the rank of `Douanier' (Customs Officer). Before this he had served in the army, and he later claimed to have seen service in Mexico, but this story seems to be a product of his imagination. He took up painting as a hobby and accepted early retirement in 1893 so he could devote himself to art. His character was extraordinarily ingenuous and he suffered much ridicule (although he sometimes interpreted sarcastic remarks literally and took them as praise) as well as enduring great poverty. However, his faith in his own abilities never wavered. He tried to paint in the academic manner of such traditionalist artists as Bouguereau and Gérôme , but it was the innocence and charm of his work that won him the admiration of the avant-garde: in 1908 Picasso gave a banquet, half serious half burlesque, in his honor. Rousseau is now best known for his jungle scenes, the first of which is Surprised! (Tropical Storm with a Tiger)

Although he claimed to have lived in Mexico in his youth, he later admitted that the claim was false. The only tropical vegetation Rousseau ever saw was in Parisian greenhouses, and his remarkable landscapes had no counterpart in nature. His painted jungles are an organized profusion of carefully defined yet fantastic plants, half-concealing various wild animals with startlingly staring eyes. These scenes are rendered in a vivid, almost hypnotic folk style. The finest ones include The Snake Charmer (1907; Louvre) and The Dream (1910; Mus. of Modern Art, New York City). With the same approach Rousseau employed in painting the familiar (e.g., Village Street Scene

Rousseau, Henri From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Henri Poincaré) Next (Henri de Saint-Simon) Self-portrait Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (May 21, 1844 – September 2, 1910) was a French Post-Impressionist painter in the Naive or Primitive manner. He is also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer), after his place of employment. Ridiculed during his life, he came to be recognized as a self-taught genius whose works are of high artistic quality. Rousseau was born in Laval in the Loire Valley. After a brief careers as a law student and soldier, he became a government worker and was promoted to the toll-collector's office in Paris as a tax collector. He retired from his job at the age of 49 to work on his art. Essentially self-taught, he claimed he had "no teacher other than nature." Using a student grade of paint because of limited finances, Rousseau spent a considerable amount of time on each painting, hence his collected work is not extensive. Rousseau's best-known paintings depict jungle scenes, even though he never saw a jungle. Rousseau's work exerted a large influence on several generations of cutting-edge artists, including Picasso, Henri Matisse , Léger, and the Surrealists.
