James Ensor’s oeuvre is defined by a fascination with the macabre, populated by phantoms, skeletons, and grotesque masks that challenge traditional European aesthetics. This volume examines his ironic and provocative vision, drawing connections between his interest in Rembrandt’s printmaking and the vibrant, chaotic energy of the Belgian carnival. Featuring nearly sixty paintings alongside previously unpublished drawings, the collection highlights Ensor’s profound influence on the development of modernism.
