Henri
Rousseau 1844-1910 Henri Rousseau, the French customs
inspector and self-taught painter whose Sleeping Gypsy
is one of the most popular paintings in New York's Museum
of Modern Art. Although he often copied art in the Louvre,
Rousseau was essentially self-taught. He frequently strolled
through the suburbs of Paris, sketching from nature.
He wrote: "Nothing makes me happier than to contemplate
nature and to paint it. Would you believe it that when
I go out in the country and see all that sun, all that
greenery and all those flowers, I sometimes say to myself:
'All that belongs to me, it does.'"
