Henri Rousseau au Musée de l'Orangerie

This exhibition looks back on Henri Rousseau’s career, his pictorial practice, and his professional ambitions. It aims to move beyond the legends surrounding the name of the “Douanier Rousseau” in order to examine his artistic trajectory in depth. Thematic sections explore the materiality of the works and situate them within the context of the modern art market, in which Paul Guillaume and Albert Barnes played a major role.
