This week's sketchbook assignment: Rousseau: Jungle
Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) was a French Post-Impressionist painter in the Primitive style (meaning he did paintings of indigenous people and animals in their native surroundings). Despite being ridiculed during his lifetime by art critics, he became to be recognized as a self-taught genius whose works are of high artistic quality.
