Description

Norton Simon Museum produced this poster of a famous Henri Rousseau work called "Exotic Landscape". The original was an oil painting on canvas from 1910. French painter Henri Rousseau fell in love with tropical scenes during his world travels. "Exotic Landscape" is one of his famous primitivist jungle paintings feauturing monkeys playing in the forest. Two monkeys hang from an orange tree knocking fruit down to their friends below, while a larger monkey snacks on an orange nearby. The tropical foliage is rich, dense, and green, featuring white lilies and other tropical flowers. A pretty gift for fans of Henri Rousseau, jungle paintings, tropical landscapes, primitivism, and French art.
