Description: An in-depth study of the life and paintings of the French painter Henri Rousseau, whose paintings nourished the roots of modern art, stimulated the surrealists and won for him the sobriquet Father of the Naives.

Complete Record: Considers the attempts of many artists to unlearn traditional ways of painting and seeing and to represent objects with such precision that the reproduction will seem to be reality itself. Discusses the thesis that even in these attempts the artist's own tradition influences his vision.
