Stranger than fiction: a close look at the McNay’s Milkmaids with Liz Lloyd

by Bill Davenport August 18, 2011

Henri Rousseau, the first outsider artist to make it big, didn’t always paint lush foliage, ripe fruits and riper women; in 1906 he painted Landscape with Milkmaids (and a mighty odd tree) now in San Antonio’s McNay museum. Learn more about the work and hear how Rousseau’s curious personal life in turn-of-the-century Paris influenced his artistic direction this evening at 6:30 in the museum’s Zoch Gallery as museum educator Liz Lloyd.
