The artwork that I found very interesting at the Museum of Modern Art was the “Sleeping Gypsy” by Henri Rousseau (1897). Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) was a French painter also known as Le Douanier. In this painting what you see is a woman who is in deep sleep by her jar that is full of water. The setting is what looks like a desert and mountains in the back. A lion approaches the woman and nears her but does not devour the woman because of the “moonlight effect”. As an artist, the woman in the painting is a craftsman; as an explorer, she has no reasonable social place. Lost in the self-retention that is profound, envisioning rest, she is hazardously powerless and the lion is calm. Rousseau plays delicately with brightness on the lion’s body in the painting. Rousseau intentionally utilized different social things to depict a meaning. The painting of the woman as she is dozing under the lion can be recognized in numerous ways.

1. the woman speaks to the mother of all societies and minorities and the lion speaks to the overwhelming leaders of society.
2. the artistic creation demonstrates we are dependably prey to the intense.
3. the lion is only a risky, capable creature misconstrued with no aim of hurting the woman yet basically cherishing her.
4. Possibly the lion is interested about her way of life and her weakness.
5. Perhaps the wanderer speaks to every one of us resting in the night, not realizing what is to come and what is to fear.

It is very conceivable that the picture demonstrates how little control we may have now and again in our lives. I think there is a moral, dependable approach to blend and utilize societies other than your own to make an all-inclusive message conveying values imparted to individuals over the world. The enormous thought here is that numerous implications and images can be drawn from a solitary masterpiece. Rousseau utilized his own viewpoint of different societies to take a picture very widespread to the audience. He put social thoughts, pictures, and things into an advanced painting demonstrating the solidarity of the way of life and the weakness of every single individual paying little heed to their disparities. The Sleeping Gypsy is a genuine champion piece and sets a standard for its kind. I really enjoyed analyzing this painting as it had so many different meaning to it that ne can portray in its mind, all you need to do is think outside the box.
