"Henri Julien Félix Rousseau" was a French Post-Impressionism/Post-Impressionist painter in the Naïve art/Naïve or Primitivism/Primitive manner. He was also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer), a humorous description of his occupation as a Tariff/toll collector. Ridiculed during his lifetime by critics, he came to be recognized as a self-taught genius whose works are of high artistic quality. Rousseau's work exerted an extensive influence on several generations of avant-garde artists.
