HENRI ROUSSEAU
Henri Rousseau (21 May 1844 – 2 September 1910) became a full-time artist at the age of forty-nine, after retiring from his post at the Paris customs office - a job that prompted his famous nickname, "Le Douanier Rousseau." Largely self-taught, Rousseau developed a style with its absence of correct proportions, one-point perspective, and use of sharp, often unnatural colors. Such features resulted in a body of work imbued with a sense of mystery and eccentricity. I trust you enjoy this visit and may you be enriched with the work of masters of art
