Henri Rousseau (French, 1844–1910)現代藝術的無名教父。自學成才的畫家因其笨拙的構圖和生硬的透視而飽受嘲諷——但如果他接受過正規訓練,我們今天所知的現代藝術或許根本不會出現。 這幅名為《驚訝! 》的畫作是亨利·盧梭最著名的叢林主題作品之一。他聲稱自己在墨西哥擔任軍樂隊成員期間積累了叢林知識,但這似乎只是虛構,他的畫作很可能受到了巴黎植物園之旅和版畫的啟發:


There is some Eugène Delacroix in the big, bloody allegory “War” (circa 1894) on loan from the d’Orsay. But this just-right show at the Barnes prefers to face you with the singular, humid beauty of the paintings alone. They reveal a painter for whom white lies and artistic license were the same, much like a child who disregards the laws of truth not to cause trouble but to stay honest to his inner life.

Henri Rousseau was born #OnThisDay in 1844. Did you know he first worked as an inspector at a toll station on the outskirts of Paris? He took seriously to painting after retirement and exhibited from 1886 at the Salon des Indépendants. 'Surprised!' takes us into a dense, tropical jungle, where a tiger is hunting explorers in a storm, which only adds to the drama and movement of this painting. Explore the jungle in Room 43 and be prepared! http://bit.ly/2rzFdqK

Although Henri Rousseau completed more than 25 jungle paintings, he never traveled outside of France. He drew instead on images of the jungle as it was presented through popular literature, colonial expositions, and the Paris Zoo. Rousseau's "The Dream" (1910) is #onview in our 5th floor galleries.

Does teaching kill off genius?
The untrained godfather of modern art
The self-taught painter Henri Rousseau was mocked for his clumsy compositions and awkward perspectives – but if he had been trained, modern art as we know it might never have happened.

This painting 'Suprised!' is the first of the jungle scenes Henri Rousseau is best known for. He claimed he gained knowledge of the jungle while serving as a regimental bandsman in Mexico, but this seems to be a fiction and his paintings were probably inspired by visits to the botanical gardens in Paris and by prints: http://bit.ly/1GQ0YlZ
