  • To the viewer: at 00:21 there is a painting that may not be a Rousseau. Should I remove the video and repost it without the image in question? Or should I leave it up with the comment of correction?

    Post your opinion here and after a while I will count and decide what I should do.

    Internally I know I should remove, correct, and repost. As I desire to never, ever, give incorrect information. My aim is to educate, not confuse!!

    But I am thinking of the 87 people who fav'ed it.

    Namaste.

  • Is it just me or does the piece at 00:21 NOT look like a Rousseau?

  • You're right. It does not look like a Rousseau, more like an Orientalist painting.

    I honestly have thought of taking this down and correcting it, I may do that still. But rather than do that right away, I am going to leave your correction for those who take the time to read the comment section. This is one of the first videos I had ever made and was re-edited to post here.

  • brenda: But is it by him?

    It just seemed too complex. Rousseau was an amateur [not to say he wasn't good] artist, but that looked like it was done by someone else.

  • Well, since I have been studying art history for six more years since I made this one, I am thinking it looks like Etienne Dinet maybe? I cannot belive now that I have more experience with styles that I did not see that this was obviously not painted by someone who's style was so clearly naive and primitive. That is why I keep trying to teach myself more. And also why I appreciate the chance to learn from others. I am sure you are right, but can't say who painted it for sure.

  • And thank you very much for the good lookin' out! I count on you all to keep me correct!

    Peace.

  • THanks for beautiful collaboration of work.

    Nobody can say such a unique artist was a Sunday painter, I think.

  • I always loved his woods... since middle school when I first discovered him... they remind me somehow shakespeare's
