Rousseau (1844-1910) was a catalyst in the creation of the Naive (or Primitive) style during the Post-Impressionism movement. His paintings express innocence, clarity, and colour; while at the same time a subtle undertone and acceptance of the struggle and harshness inherant in being a creature alive in the world. Employed as a civil-servant, he did not devote himself full-time to painting until the age of 49. It's believed he never left France, yet he revelled in painting tropical and jungle scenes summoned from imagination and subconscious; as well as painting his own Parisian-suburban environs. Picasso, passing used canvases to be painted over for sale on the street, noted the brilliance in one of the paintings and sought out the artist; it was Rousseau.
