French Suellen painter, a professional customs officer, painted during Gong Yu's weekend and before his retirement. He was self-taught and had no formal training in painting. He was fascinated by painting. At the age of forty, he quit his job and became a professional painter.
He is a painter who is good at depicting mysterious, strange and imaginative figures and wonders. He painted a magical and dreamy tropical jungle scene.
Rousseau's works are simple, naive and unique. Picasso likes Rousseau's works very much. There is a portrait of Rousseau in Picasso's restaurant. He likes simple and innocent works. He said, "I spent my whole life learning how to draw like a child."
Like many great painters, he is poor, but he is imagining things in his mind and enjoying the infinite fun of art. Rousseau is simple by nature, like a big child who still retains childishness. He is open, honest, sincere, gentle and naive. Starting from children's painting mind, his painting is not a visual image, not a real material world, but a picture reconstructed in his brain. The peculiar order of form and color in painting contains abstract time and space of past, present and future, mysterious and quiet light, etc., which is as happy, transparent and illusory as children's dreams.
Rousseau likes listening to stories like a child, especially the information stored by travelers. He painted many exotic paintings according to his own imagination, and often quoted calendars and photos of people in the paintings to describe them. In botanists' plant identification maps, most of them are fictitious.
Once, when he was a teenager, he cheated money in a bank and painted Rousseau to a judge in a lawyer's court. The judge thought he was really naive and was acquitted.
Rousseau paints very carefully, sometimes using his feet to measure the size of the model, and then being scaled down in the painting. In his works, the original mysterious forest landscape implies infinite life, and tells fragrance in fantasy, which is pure, vivid and poetic.
Rousseau's Jungle Painting is depicted by many exotic tropical jungle paintings, such as Dream, Playing a Snake Lady, Strange Scenery, Hungry Lion, Horse Attacked by Leopard, Black Man Attacked by Leopard and Waterfall. These paintings involve the existence of human beings, the mysteries of nature and the relationship between man and nature, showing the most magical, mysterious and elusive wonderful things in life. In the jungle, bark, flowers, leaves and fruits are different, and animals naturally loom among them. Animals look spiritual, people look like animals, and plants are full of vitality. These paintings are full of vitality, dense and full of forest pictures, exotic fruits and flowers, lovely and spiritual animals and mysterious figures, which constitute a vibrant jungle wonderland, causing people's reverie and yearning for tropical jungles. The most amazing thing is that he hasn't been to the real jungle, so he can't appreciate and experience the scenery and atmosphere there himself. However, his description of the jungle is so energetic, magical and lifelike. Under his extraordinary imagination, the jungle was described as a paradise, and it was beautiful. The color of this painting is bright, mainly dark green, but 20 shades of green are used.
