 Henri Rousseau’s Short Biography
 Henri Rousseau was born on May 21, 1844, in Laval, France. While
working as a toll collector in Paris, he taught himself to paint and
exhibited his work almost annually from 1886 until the end of his life.
He was given the nickname "Le Douanier" ("the customs officer") by his
acquaintances in the Parisian avant-garde. Despite his connections
with other artists and dealers, he never profited from his paintings;
however, works like "The Dream," "The Sleeping Gypsy" and "Carnival
Evening" influenced many artists who came after him. He died in Paris
on September 2, 1910.
