DREAM GARDEN by HENRY ROUSSEAU


DATE AND LOCATION OF PAINTING UNKNOWN.


1. in this painting it looks like in the jungle and the guy is playing some kind of insturment and is riding a tiger and the tiger is eating the flowers which all of them have alot of colors the guy looks calm not like in real life if we road a tiger we would be pretty frighten for the most part
2. i like this painting because it has alot of colors that stand out it is very random that a guy is on a tiger in the middle of the jungle playing music i think this art was made when music was very popular because the guy is still playing music even though he is on a tiger an that would freak most people out. in the reading about this painting it says that the painter love to paint wild cats that alot of is paintings where about aniamals and the out doors. i think the tiger is friendly because it is just eating does not care if the guy is on his back or not the guy is very brave to be on a tiger. some other things about this painting is there is a lion in the bushes in the right of the painting between two paintings it is a very good painting in my opionion.

  1. i disagree, think this is just an imaginative piece of art and thats all, the artist in my opinion probably just had a funky, interesting, visually pleasing dream about this sceane and wanted to share the imagination with everyone, so as to not be afraid to admit your selfconcious person, ie: sigmond fruied.

  2. Im thinkin that it seems calm and all with the guy on the tiger, but that the Lion in the bushes in the background might signify that all isn't calm. There has to be a reason that the Lion is there, so maybe the Lion be preparing to attack. There may be another reason the Lion is there, but i couldnt think of any other.

  3. i agree, i think everything is calm in the picture except for the tiger in the background. it doesnt look like its going to attack, it just looks more frightened than anything. though why i have no idea

  4. The title of the picture is dream garden, so i think that it would be what the artists wants. I think that he wants to be able to just play music and be able to be around wild cats with them being calm.
