 Henri Rousseau Biography
Rousseau was seemingly unimpressed by the derision with which he was treated by art critics.
By "Egyptian style" Rousseau meant the elements of African tribal art that Picasso and other artists had assimilated when they developed the art movement known as cubism.
At his times he was belittled and even today some art critics regard his art as something nice to look at but not as serious art.

 Rousseau, Jean Jacques. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Rousseau’s style, in all his writings, is always personal, sometimes bizarre, sometimes rhetorical, sometimes bitterly sarcastic, sometimes deliberately plebeian, and often animated by a tender and musical quality unequaled in French prose.
Rousseau was the father of Romantic sensibility; the trend existed before him, but he was the first to give it full expression.
Although it is still widely believed that all of Rousseau’s philosophy was based on his call for a return to nature, this view is an oversimplification, caused by the excessive importance attached to this first essay.

 Jean Jacques Rousseau, 1712-1778
Rousseau composed an opera Les Muses galantes which led to a correspondence with Voltaire and eventually acquaintance with Denis Diderot (1713-1784) and the encyclopedistes.
She sent Rousseau to Turin to be baptized and there he eventually found employment with a shopkeeper's wife whose lover he became until her husband's return.
Back in Paris, a reformed man, who was trying his best to live up to his newly-found natural estate, he accepted a cottage for himself, Thérèse and her mother at Montmorency from an admirer, Madame d'Épinay, but quarreling with her over her sister, he set up in 1757 in Luxembourg.

 Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Rousseau won at the age of 38 the prize for his essay "Discours sur les sciences et les arts", and gained fame.
Rousseau's upbringing had been Calvinist, but under the influence of his benefactress and eventually his mistress, the Vaudois Madame de Warens, he became a Roman Catholic.
Until he was 37, Rousseau had written nothing except libretti for his own music.

 WebMuseum: Rousseau, Henri
Rousseau was an artist from an earlier era: he died in 1910, long before the Surrealist painters championed his art.
He tried to paint in the academic manner of such traditionalist artists as Bouguereau and Gérôme, but it was the innocence and charm of his work that won him the admiration of the avant-garde: in 1908 Picasso gave a banquet, half serious half burlesque, in his honor.
Although Rousseau's greatest wish was to paint in an academic style, and he believed that the pictures he painted were absolutely real and convincing, the art world loved his intense stylization, direct vision, and fantastical images.

 Rousseau
Rousseau first attracted wide-spread attention with his prize-winning essay
Pursuit of the arts and sciences, Rousseau argued, merely promotes idleness, and the resulting political inequality encourages alienation.

 Jean-Jaques Rousseau and informal education
Rousseau's exploration of education took the form of a novel concerning the tutoring of a young boy.
Diderot encouraged Rousseau to write and in 1750 he won first prize in an essay competition organized by the Académie de Dijon - Discours sur les sciences et les arts.
What we do know is that in later life Rousseau sought to justify his actions concerning the children (see, for example 1996: 345-346); declaring his sorrow about the way he had acted.

 Artist Biography - Rehs Galleries, Inc.
Rousseau was a quiet man, choosing to reveal his expressiveness through his work.
Rousseau had officially entered the art world, and he was just nineteen years of age.

 Henri Rousseau
Rousseau could have seen such and such a work, particularly at the Salon des Independants where he showed regularly and at which he must have been a sedulous visitor.
Admired by artists at the turn of the century (Pablo Picasso, Robert Delaunay, Wassily Kandinsky, Constantin Brancusi, and others), and defended by the same writers (led by Guillaume Apollinaire and Blaise Cendrars) who defended them, he is still difficult to fit into what we call modern art.
His true contemporary in pictorial adventure is Paul Gauguin, only four years his junior, who like him began as a Sunday painter and became an artist with a "belated vocation." Neither began painting in his personal style until sometime around 1885.

 Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)
Uiteindelijk kennen wij Rousseau's leven dus slechts in de vorm van een werk waarin hij dat leven tot onderwerp maakt.
Hij profiteerde van de samenleving waar hij maar kon, maar vond dat deze er met de ontwikkeling van kunsten en wetenschappen (Discours sur les sciences et les arts) en van de cultuur in de meest algemene zin (Discours sur l'inégalité parmi les hommes) niet op vooruitgegaan was.
Hij had een diepe minachting voor politiek en rechtsgeleerdheid, maar ondertussen meende hij met Du contrat social, ou principes du droit politique een aantal beginselen van staatsrecht uit de doeken te kunnen doen.

Rousseau stellt sich die grundlegende Frage, wie ein von Natur aus freies Individuum seine Bedürfnisse befriedigen kann, ohne zugleich die Grundlage des Zusammenlebens durch sein blind-egoistisches Verhalten zu zerstören.

Eine Rückkehr in den Naturzustand schließt Rousseau ausdrücklich aus, auch wenn viele Kritiker, allen voran Voltaire, ihm dies vorhielten.

 Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-78).
In time, Rousseau was to return to Madame de Warens and was to become her general factotum and lover.
As a young man he ran away from his caretakers and was to be referred, by a charitable agency, to the care of Madame de Warens a person with connections who saw to Rousseau's conversion to Catholicism.

 Stallions - Rousseau
Rousseau continues to show himself as an exceptional competitor, with the caliber mind, movement, and athleticism that consistently puts him at the top of his peer group.
His continued success at the 2003 KWPN Stallion Show, where he won the 5-year old stallion competition, only catapulted him further into the KWPN's limelight.
Rousseau was named to the Championship Ring of the 2001 KWPN Stallion Show as a young 3-year old stallion and was the highest priced sale at the KWPN's Select Sale that followed.

 Jean-Jacques Rousseau
He ran off to England in the nick of time - being hosted and supported by David Hume - from which wrote his polemical Letters from the Mountain.
In 1741, he moved to Paris and quickly fell into the Philosophes circle - Diderot, Voltaire, d'Alembert, and Mably's brilliant younger brother, Etienne de Condillac.

 Björn's Guide To Philosophy - Rousseau
In Savoy he belonged to the household of the slightly disreputable Baroness de Warens, but it was after becoming tutor to the family of the AbbŽ de Mably that Rousseau became acquainted with philosophers of the French Enlightenment, including Mably's brother Condillac.
In Paris he made friends with Diderot; a year in Venice saw him dismissed from the service of the Ambassador, the comte de Montaigu, for generally insufferable behaviour.
His father being exiled for an ill-judged duel, Rousseau was brought up with a cousin until the time came for him to be apprenticed to an engraver.

Man was born free, but everywhere he is in chains.
Locke's version emphasised a contact between the governors and the governed: Rousseau's was in a way much more profound - the social contract was between all members of society, and essentially replaced "natural" rights as the basis for human claims.

 Democracy vs. The Constitution
I'm increasingly amused when I read things like this from Tapped trying to figure out what Miers feels.
Which is I guess why it's hard for me to be an idealist, since it's so clear that people don't give tuppence to their ideals over practical goals, or even acknowledge that they could conflict.
PS: Yes I know this may sound pro-constitutional, but remember I first got on the anti-constitutional bandwagon by seeing how much people whole-heartedly disregard the constitution, and why it’s generally for good reason.
