EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "ROUSSEAU: FACTORY, c1897" we are transported back in time to witness the artistic brilliance of Henri Rousseau. The painting showcases a chair factory at Alfortville, beautifully rendered with oil on canvas in 1897. Rousseau's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously captures every aspect of the scene. The towering smokestacks billow out plumes of smoke, symbolizing the industrial revolution and its impact on society during that era. The building itself stands tall and imposing, representing the power and influence of factories in shaping modern life. The artist's use of color and light adds depth and dimension to the composition. Shades of earthy tones dominate the foreground while vibrant hues peek through from behind, creating a striking contrast between nature and industry. This piece exemplifies Rousseau's unique style within French art history. As one of the pioneers of modern art, his work often incorporated elements of symbolism, challenging traditional artistic conventions prevalent at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Henri Rousseau, we are reminded not only of his technical prowess but also his ability to convey complex ideas through visual storytelling. It serves as a testament to his lasting legacy as an influential figure in fine art history.
