1844 - 1910
Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (21 May 1844 – 2 September 1910). Henri Rousseau was a great french painter and a french late Impressionist painter. Rousseau was born in Laval, in northwestern France. His father, Julian Rousseau, was a tinplate craftsman. In his youth he worked as a military band member before leaving Paris to become a customs officer. In 1885 he exhibited his debut at the Salle des Henri Rousseau at the Salon des és des Beausses, and in 1886 Henri Rousseau's Carnival Night was exhibited in the Independent exhibition. Since then, Rousseau has exhibited more than 5 works per year on average. Henri Rousseau's representative works include "Walking in the Village", "Tax Card", "War", "Sleeping Gypsy Girl", "Myself Portrait Landscape", "Country Wedding", "The Girl Holding the Puppet", "Dream" and so on. Rousseau uses his innocent eyes to observe the world and feel the true meaning of life, which gives his paintings a strong and distinct personality.
Les Rousseau wanted to be an artist. He was just a small customs clerk. He is 40 years old. However, he bought some canvas, paint and brushes and started painting anyway. Then there was a lifetime of innocence in the world of art.
When he plays the violin on the street for a dinner that has no place to live, he still maintains his innocence and happiness. He's not overcoming pain! Or take pleasure in suffering, no, he doesn't take pain for pain at all! Innocence and honesty, and the confidence wrapped in innocence and honesty, is the screen of that free heart. The suffering caused by all the tribulations of life cannot enter this holy place. (The same goes for Mozart))
The simple power of dreams,
Dominate my landscape.
· A Lifetime of Legends ·
Born into a small-town plumber family in Laval, Rousseau had to help his family from an early age because of his family's poverty. When Laval was in high school, his grades were mediocre, but he won many awards for painting and music. Later, due to his parents' debts and mortgaged the family's house, Rousseau left the town after graduating from high school. He first apprenticed in a law firm, but was involved in a small perjury storm, and in 1863 Rousseau went to the army to take shelter. After 4 years of service, he returned from the army, his father died, and in 1868 he and his mother moved to Paris to become a government employee.
Henri Rousseau wanted to be an artist. But no one ever told him he was talented. He was just a small customs clerk. He is 40 years old. However, he bought some canvas, paint and brushes and started painting anyway.
Rousseau's artistic impulse stemmed from his deep love of nature. Unable to afford art lessons, Rousseau studied his favorite artists by going to the Louvre and flipping through photographs, magazines and albums, and taught himself human anatomy. At the age of 41, he attended a major art exhibition, but his vibrant work was seemingly childish and bland. Still, he was satisfied, and kept the relevant reports cut and pasted.
Rousseau visited the World Exposition, where he was enchanted by the exhibits, especially in exotic lands. Vivid images haunted him for days, until he finally turned to the easel and unleashed his restless imagination.
Every year, Rousseau attends art exhibitions to showcase the latest paintings. But every year art critics make fun of him. They said: He looked like he had closed his eyes and painted his feet.
But he continued to paint, learn nature, and rejoice in the process itself. One night, he dreamed of a painting depicting the friendliness and curiosity of a lion meeting a sleeping gypsy.
At the age of 61 Rousseau still lived in poverty, but he happily painted his children's paintings. But it continues to be brutally denied by so-called "critics", and even some say, "Only primitive people would be deeply impressed by his art." ”
When Rousseau was already an old man, a new generation of young artists approached him and admired his work. The accolades he received for his talent drowned out the voices of criticism, but people appreciated his very kind and generous heart even more.

Rousseau was free, and he did not expect more material pleasures in this world, or compliments from others, which were the shackles of the heart. When he left this world, he said goodbye only to poverty and the art he loved. His heart is full of childlike childishness, like his paintings, wandering in nature or in dreams. Observing the world and feeling life with childlike innocent eyes, his picture has a sense of reality that transcends this real world, as if entering the garden of Eden, created by God. In fact, what he wanted was very simple, put up a color palette, and draw.
I draw by instinct,
I think
Creators must be given complete freedom
in order to achieve it ideologically
A state of beauty and goodness.
At the evening party at Rousseau's house,
Van Gogh had an interesting conversation with Rousseau:
"I suppose you know they call you a lunatic, Rousseau?"
Rousseau replied:
"Yes, I know,
And I know you're in The Hague and they think you're crazy. "We're all crazy!"
The two masters looked at each other and clapped and laughed,
Laugh so mischievously and happily

Every age has its prophets. Regarded as the forerunner of surrealist art of the twentieth century was Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (21 May 1844 – 2 September 1910), a great French painter and late French Impressionist painter. Born in Laval, in northwestern France.
"People almost always describe Rousseau's character by mentioning his 'simplicity' and 'innocence'. But a man so great and simple, a heart so pure, often stirred up in the hearts of others a desire to hurt him: "In addition to poverty, mockery from all sides accompanied Rousseau almost throughout his life." If the former can still be regarded as a special "favor" of God to the artist, the latter is really difficult to produce a sense of humor. But Rousseau's teasing, even cruel jokes, can be handled calmly.
