Rousseau’s Portrait of Pierre Loti |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The French painter Henri Rousseau was largely self-taught and his human figures are generally stiff, as in this portrait of French novelist Pierre Loti. Although Rousseau was laughed at in his time, his lively use of colour, his careful addition of detail, and his fanciful subjects aroused interest in naive artists who ignored traditional rules of perspective and composition. The portrait of Loti dates from 1906 to 1910 and is in the Kunsthaus in Zurich, Switzerland. | ||||||
