Henri Rousseau Art Book (Arca Publishing Art Books)

A simple layout featuring one artwork per page allows you to appreciate each work in its entirety.Pages may be detached and used as small posters.(Note: individual commentary for each work is not included.)Henri Rousseau (1844–1910) occupies a particularly distinctive position in the history of art. While many artists began their training at a young age by attending art schools, learning established techniques, and developing under the guidance of teachers, Rousseau spent most of his life working as a civil servant and continued to paint on a self-taught basis. He did not begin to present himself seriously as a painter until after the age of forty, which was by no means an early start. Even so, his works are now held and appreciated in museums around the world, firmly recognized as a unique body of art.This book is an art collection featuring a carefully selected group of Rousseau’s representative works. Each artwork is presented on its own page in a large format, allowing close examination of brushwork and subtle variations in color. Details that are often overlooked in conventional art books can be fully appreciated through the use of generous margins and a simple, uncluttered layout.In addition, pages may be detached and displayed as small posters.
