Summary

This breathtaking multi-dimensional exploration of Belgium’s most famous artist looks beyond his identity as a painter of masks and reveals a man of—and ahead of—his time.

While James Ensor is often celebrated for his depictions of the grotesque imagery with a satirical edge, he was also a groundbreaking pioneer of modern art. His unique ability to blend realistic detail with abstract and fantastical elements placed him ahead of his time.

Ensor’s innovative use of color and light was revolutionary, utilizing vivid and often clashing hues alongside dramatic contrasts to evoke emotional intensity and visual impact. His fascination with the macabre and grotesque further distinguished him from his contemporaries. This catalog, filled with stunning full-page images, features enlightening essays that explore Ensor’s work through various lenses, including the rise of anarchism in twentieth-century Europe, the influence of en plein air landscape sketching and Japonisme.

Richly illustrated and thought-provoking, this book augments the current scholarship on Ensor by considering his work in dialog with the historical and cultural trends of his time.
