The World of Henri RousseauIn this magnificent book, le Pichon, journalist and art historian, re-creates Rousseau's world, examines the iconographical and psychological inspirations of his paintings, and discusses his influence on others -- Picasso, Delaunay, the Surrealists, and of course the naive painters. The book is introduced by the painter's granddaughter and also by two distinguished museum curators who know Rousseau's work well. |
