Henri Rousseau was a self-taught artist who worked as a toll collector, earning him the nickname 'Le Douanier.' Despite being largely dismissed by critics during his lifetime for his non-traditional, flat perspective, his unique vision heavily influenced the development of Modernism and was greatly admired by later artists like Pablo Picasso.
