It was Henri Rousseau who ­painted this wonderful picture. Only I had remembered it as a self-portrait of Rousseau with ­Madame Rousseau. Marie Laurencin was Apollinaire's muse, and Clémence Rousseau was Rousseau's muse. As it happens, Franz Marc painted a portrait of Rousseau for Der Blaue Reiter, and Picasso also had a self-portrait by Henri. There's a quite intimate photograph, taken by André Gomés, of Picasso holding Rousseau's self-portrait in his right hand and the portrait of Rousseau's wife in his left hand. Picasso, that constructor of novel objects and ­audacious paintings, loved Rousseau, the painter of things in rigidified grace. Even Rousseau's gaze in his self-portrait is stiff, directed at his own work, in which objects that we ourselves are familiar with look different--Gothic, Byzantine, somehow not the way we are used to seeing them.
