Tropical Landscape: American Indian Struggling with a Gorilla Analysis
Tropical Landscape: American Indian Struggling with a Gorilla is a typical dreamlike landscape here painted in 1910 by Henri Rousseau. He depicts an American Indian struggling with a gorilla, dwarfed by the rich vegetation under a blood-red sun.
Rousseau was known for painting subjects that he had not seen in real life – and in this case, had never seen an American Indian, a Gorilla, or a jungle.
