Henri Rousseau was a French painter born in May 21, 1844. As a self-taught painter, Henri Rousseau was completely untrained in any conventional art techniques. Although the community of artists laughed and ridiculed his artistic style, he was highly regarded by artists who were outside the establishment, such as people with the Surrealist painting style. He was unaware that he was considered untrained by established painters, and believed himself to be a great realist painter. As such, he regarded himself very highly, and in his opinion, Picasso and he were the only two great living artists. He may have been ridiculed during his lifetime, but he is now considered a self-trained genius, who created works of high artistic quality. Learn more ยป
