Lesson 2 A Sunday Painter Chasing His Dream
고2 영어교과서 천재 이재영 2과 본문 음원자료입니다.
The Sleeping Gypsy is one of the most representative works of Henri Rousseau (1844–1910).
In fact, he was not a recognized artist from the beginning.
He led a mostly unremarkable life, working as a Paris customs service officer until his late forties.
However, he had a dream of becoming an artist, so he taught himself by painting on Sundays as a hobby.
When Rousseau first showed four paintings at the Salon exhibition in 1886, people did not respond favorably to them.
The public and critics laughed at Rousseau’s flat, seemingly childish style of portraying human figures.
This was because the paintings did not look real.
Rousseau’s style was markedly different from the contemporary mainstream.
One critic even said, “Monsieur Rousseau paints with his feet with a blindfold over his eyes.”
In spite of such harsh criticism, Rousseau never gave up his style.
He continued to draw his paintings and submit them to the Salon.
