Inside a Rousseau Jungle
“A panoramic scene painted in the style of Henri Rousseau's naive jungle scenes, with flat layered foliage rendered in many shades of green, every leaf individually outlined. Foreground shows oversized banana leaves, scarlet hibiscus, and a curious tiger crouched among the fronds, eyes wide and round. Midground reveals a monkey peering from a vine, dripping bunches of tropical fruit, and a startled wading bird. Background shows distant blue mountains under a bone-white moon, the whole composition strangely flat and dreamlike.”
