Dimensions (cm): 145.7 x 113.3

Rousseau painted innocent-looking pictures that could easily resemble children’s book illustrations. In 1906’s Merry Jesters, the artist depicts a lush jungle scene oozing with humour in its bizarre details. Although rejected by many of his peers, his work influenced some of the most regarded 20th-century artists.

About Sock Affairs

Sock affairs has been five years in the making. In 2018, two guys left their cushy corporate jobs to follow a big idea: make fun socks for grown ups.
