Label Text
employment as a tax collector – a job that earnt him the playful nickname of ‘Le Douanier’, or
customs agent. Paris was surrounded by toll gates such as this one, where all goods entering
the city were taxed. But Rousseau liked to paint invented landscapes, and this particular scene appears dreamlike and imagined. Though mocked by some, his personal, untaught style was acclaimed by Pablo Picasso and other members of the avant-garde.
