ENSOR: 1860-1949, Masks, Death, and The Sea
by Ulrike Becks-Malorny

ABOUT The work of James Ensor, the great Belgian painter of macabre and ghoulish scenes, that would become a nationally revered figure.
Apart from his training in Brussels, he spent his entire long life in Ostend, seemingly the opposite of cosmopolitan. Later on he was expelled by the group Les XX for a particularly controversial canvas: The Entry of Christ into Brussels, which he had painted in 1889. An expressionist before the term was coined, he used the iconography of masks and skeletons to point up the essential horrors of life, and often underwrote his images with a sardonic gallows humour. It has been said that he appropriated the subject matter of a Bosch or Bruegel and re-visioned them using the techniques of Manet or Rubens.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images.
CONDITION New with only light shelf wear on covers.
