The Rousseau & Proust shirt is part of our Modern Art Collection, combining the visual and literary arts to inspire and uplift. Insights can be drawn from the connection between the paired image and thought.
Henri Rousseau (1844-1910), French Painter, created the Equatorial Jungle in 1909. He was inspired by worlds far from what he knew first-hand, exploring them through his art. Though critics of his time weren't as kind as history has proven to be, he has influenced generations of artists and has a legacy that reflects his creative contributions.
Marcel Proust (1871-1922), French Novelist, published In Search of Lost Time in between 1913 and 1927. In this work he explores the nature of art as a core theme, in addition to the concepts of time and memory. Art can capture time and memory and transport us to others, in both subtle and deeply impactful ways. He expresses how art can enrich our lives and perspectives in this way.
