Ingenuous 'Inspired by' from Djeco

A Moment in Time - Inspired by Douanier Rousseau - Djeco

Discover the lush, magical world of Henri Rousseau - the great master of naive art who painted wild animals hidden in impossibly vivid jungles. In A Moment in Time, children build four compositions layer by layer, rubbing image transfers onto printed backgrounds to create scenes of wild animals concealed among tropical foliage - just as Rousseau himself imagined them. Conceived by illustrator Bex Parkin in dialogue with Rousseau's style, the activity gives children a beautiful first encounter with one of art history's most distinctive visions. Up to age 99, because it is never too late to discover great art.

Made with sustainably sourced materials. Part of Djeco's Inspired By range.
