Book Description
"Rousseau's series of jungle paintings was and still continues to be the subject of controversy. This book answers many of the questions surrounding Rousseau's importance as an artist and examines his paintings in a wider art-historical context. As a self-taught artist who started painting at the age of 40 and worked in an unorthodox, naive style, Rousseau had to struggle to overcome the derision of his contemporaries. That Rousseau succeeded in silencing his critics, winning wide admiration, including that of Picasso, the Surrealists and Wasily Kandinsky, owes much to the jungle paintings."--Amazon.

Rousseau's work in the Naïve or Primitive Post-Impressionist style was mocked as childish or derided by critics up until his death in 1910, but contemporaries such as Picasso, Matisse, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Félix Vallotton were all great admirers of his work and his popularity continues to this day.
