Overview
James Ensor (1860-1949) produced one of the most unusual bodies of work at the turn of the twentieth century. The painter Luc Tuymans is captivated by his fellow Belgian, and in this volume of essays he explores Ensor's life and legacy, while Tuymans's comments on his selection provide a distinctive picture of the earlier artist. Ensor was born in Ostend and barely left his home town during his lifetime; his family, however, ran a curio shop filled with an array of exotic objects including parrots, a monkey and masks from around the world, which perhaps in part influenced the imagery of his mature work. Marked by psychological complexity, contradictions and sheer eccentricity, Ensor's works - featuring such bizarre subject-matter as dressed-up skeletons and macabre carnival masks - have continued to baffle and intrigue in equal measure. AUTHOR: Luc Tuymans is one of Belgium's leading contemporary painters. Adrian Locke is Senior Curator at the Royal Academy of Arts, London. Herwig Todts is Conservator of Modern Art at the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Antwerp. Gerrit Vermeiren is an art historian living and working in Ostend. Xavier Tricot is an art historian, writer and painter. He is the author of James Ensor: Sa vie, son uvre, the catalogue raisonne of James Ensor's paintings. SELLING POINTS: * Accompanies the first major exhibition on James Ensor to be hosted in the UK for 20 years * The contents have been selected and curated by Luc Tuymans, one of Belgium's leading contemporary painters * Ensor was an influence on Expressionism and Surrealism 130 colour
