EDITORS COMMENTS
Henri Rousseau's "Landscape with Watermill," painted in 1879, is a captivating work of Naive Art housed in the esteemed collection of the Göteborg Konstmuseum in Sweden. This oil on canvas painting showcases Rousseau's unique and distinctive style, which defied the conventional academic art of his time. Rousseau, born in 1844 in France, was largely self-taught and began his artistic career as a decorator and painter of signs and advertisements. His passion for art led him to paint in his spare time, and he eventually gained recognition for his vibrant and naive depictions of the natural world. In "Landscape with Watermill," Rousseau masterfully captures the serene beauty of a pastoral scene. The painting features a picturesque watermill nestled among lush greenery, with a winding river flowing gently through the landscape. The trees, rendered with bold, flat brushstrokes and vivid colors, tower above the mill and seem to reach out towards the viewer. The painting's primitive style, characterized by its simplified forms and lack of perspective, is a testament to Rousseau's unique artistic vision. This style, which came to be known as Primitivism, was influential in the development of modern art and continues to captivate audiences today. Despite the simplicity of his technique, Rousseau's "Landscape with Watermill" is a rich and evocative work of art that invites the viewer to explore the natural world and find joy in its simple pleasures. The painting's enduring appeal is a testament to Rousseau's talent and the enduring power of Naive Art.
