Documentary Film: A thirty-minute film, Henri Rousseau: Jungles in Paris, narrated by Kevin Kline, has been produced by the National Gallery of Art for this exhibition. The film considers Rousseau's jungle paintings as part of the French fascination with the exotic in the later nineteenth century during the nation's colonial expansion. The film features archival film and photos as well as new footage of Rousseau's Parisian "jungles": the parks, zoos, and greenhouses that fueled his imagination.
Organization: Organized by Tate Modern, London, and Réunion des musées nationaux and Musée d'Orsay, Paris, in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
Sponsor: Major support for this exhibition was provided by the George Andreas Foundation. The exhibition is sponsored in part by the National Automobile Dealers Association.
The exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
