This podcast on Rousseau's The Fight of a Tiger and a Buffalo includes:

• Bottoms up bananas – reality is overrated
• Fight? What Fight?
• Rousseau's self esteem
• Flowers and animals paired in The Fight of a Tiger and a Buffalo
• Jungle mystery

Henri Rousseau creates a sense of play – not battle – in The Fight of a Tiger and a Buffalo. His singular style suits this particular fancy. That's because Rousseau brings us into his world without much regard for the "real" one. He paints fantasy. But one that only he could imagine. There's nobody quite like Rousseau. His vision includes upside down banana bunches. So, we know it's unlikely he ever saw a banana tree in person. In fact, Rousseau claimed to have visited the jungle. But we now know he'd only ever been to zoos and botanical gardens. Given his bananas, he likely went to the farmer's market as well.
