From March 22nd to July 17th 2016, Exposition "Le Douanier Rousseau, The archaic innocence" at Musee d'Orsay.
Talented painter, Henri Rousseau is a unique case in the history of European art. His work yet registered in his time at the turn of the twentieth century: by confronting his painting to some of his sources of inspiration, which account academicism as new paint. He has been enthroned as father of modernity. The archaic innocence is intended as a critical illumination of his art around a reflection on the notion of archaism.
The archaism is the common thread between his works of this exhibition. It has been presented at the Palazzo Ducale in Venice in 2015, before showing up at the Musée d'Orsay. The masterpieces of Henri Rousseau museum collections Orsay and l'Orangerie (from The Snake Charmer in The Night) will face the paintings lent by the most prestigious international institutions.
