亨利·卢梭（1844-1910）是20世纪初前卫艺术界的一位独特人物，他是一位自学成才的画家，49岁从海关检查员职位退休后投身艺术创作。尽管他从未离开过巴黎，但卢梭却创作了许多丛林场景，这些作品的灵感来源于流行文学、殖民展览和巴黎动物园向城市居民展示的异域风情。《梦》（1910）是这位艺术家的最后一部重要作品。该作品于1910年沙龙独立展上展出，距卢梭同年9月去世仅几个月时间，它典型地体现了卢梭作品中所特有的那种将异域风情与日常生活超现实并置的风格，且刻画得精准非凡，这也是卢梭的作品至今仍备受喜爱的原因。诗人兼艺术评论家纪尧姆·阿波利奈尔对该作品赞不绝口，反驳了那些批评者：“这幅画散发着美，这是无可争议的。我相信今年没有人会再嘲笑它了。”在本卷中，博物馆的玛丽-何塞与亨利·克拉维斯首席绘画与雕塑策展人安·特姆金引导读者解读这幅神秘的画作，揭示其重要意义，并将其置于现代艺术的发展脉络以及卢梭的个人生活之中进行考察。

 

A singular figure in the avant garde of the early twentieth century, Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) was a self-taught painter who turned to art after retiring as a customs inspector at the age of 49. Although he never left Paris, Rousseau painted a number of jungle scenes, drawing on images of the exotic as presented to the urban dweller through popular literature, colonial expositions and the Paris zoo. "The Dream" (1910) is the artist's last major work. Exhibited at the 1910 Salon des Independants a few months before Rousseau's death in September of that year, it exemplifies that surreal juxtaposition of the exotic and the domestic, realized with an uncanny exactitude, for which Rousseau is so beloved today. The poet and art critic Guillaume Apollinaire praised the work, countering his detractors: "The picture radiates beauty, that is indisputable. I believe nobody will laugh this year." In this volume, Ann Temkin, the Museum's Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, guides readers in deciphering this mysterious painting, illuminating its significance and placing it within the development of modern art and in Rousseau's own life.
