Rousseau is a unique artist whose works, with their unusual charm, have endless appeal. Commemorating 100 years since Rousseau's death, this exhibition consists of the artists' works in the permanent collection of the Pola Museum of Art, as well as selected Rousseau works from other collections in Japan. In addition, Montmartre avant-garde painters, including Picasso - one of the first to recognize Rousseau's genius, naïve artists Bauchant and Botero, who are considered to be in Rousseau's lineage, and Japanese artist Oka Shikanosuke who called Rousseau "an artist of a great century," are also represented.
