A tropical landscape by Henri Rousseau, who never left France nor saw a jungle. Instead, he drew inspiration from children’s books and studied plant life from the botanical gardens of Paris, remarking that “When I go into the glass houses and I see the strange plants of exotic lands, it seems to me that I enter into a dream.” It was this distance from his subject that lends his work its enchantment.
An outsider artist who claimed “no other teacher than nature,” his style is characterized by vivid colors, highly flattened forms and dreamlike subjects. Rejected by the academy, he was embraced by the avant-garde. When Pablo Picasso stumbled upon one of his paintings being sold on the street as waste canvas, he sought out Rousseau and held a banquet in his honor. His work went on to become a major influence upon generations of the avant-garde, including Picasso, Jean Hugo, Fernand Léger, Jean Metzinger, Max Beckmann and the Surrealists.
Product Information
Expect crisp detail and vivid color from our giclée process fine art prints. We use archival pigment inks on cotton fiber paper to achieve a wide color gamut, deep blacks and beautiful tonal transitions. Unlike posters, they will not fade or yellow, but maintain their original quality for as long as you own them.How to Frame
Historical artworks were produced in whatever shapes and sizes best suited the artists and their patrons, and these rarely correspond to the proportions of modern, mass-produced frames. Most reproductions sold on the web are cropped to an arbitrary standard, compromising the integrity of the original artwork. We solve this by using accent borders to make up any differences in proportion.Framing may be as simple as inserting the print into a standard size frame with the borders showing. In many cases, our customers choose to have them matted. Borders allow space for framers to mount the print while covering little, if any, of the artwork. Our images are sized to provide desirable mat widths in common frames.
Sizes 9” x 12”, 12” x 16”, and 16” x 20” are designed to be matted in larger frames, such as 11” x 14”, 16” x 20” and 20” x 24”, respectively. Larger prints may be matted in frames of equal size, the borders corresponding to the shape of the mat. Where the artwork is unusually square or narrow, other sizes may be preferred.
If our sizing does not meet your requirements, we provide customization free of charge. Please contact us to discuss the details.
