HENRI ROUSSEAU La Guerre.
Lithograph on red wove paper, 1894-95. 215x325 mm; 8 5/8x12 5/8 inches, full margins. With the soft centerfold, as published in L'Ymagier. A very good impression of this extremely scarce lithograph.
This is the only documented print by Rousseau (1844-1910), known as Le Douanier, the self-taught Post-Impressionist artist whose work exerted a profound influence on the subsequent generation of early 20th century avant-garde artists. The Dream (1910) and The Sleeping Gypsy (1897), two of Rousseau's best-known oil paintings are held at The Museum of Modern Art, New York and show his unique surreal style occupied by his enchantment with the exotic.
