James Ensor (Belgian, 1860-1949) Browse Paintings List Available Paintings View Available Prints Biography
Born in Ostend, Belgium where his parents had a souvenir shop. Ensor attended the Brussels Beaux-Arts from 1877-1880. A founder member of the group XX, from which he was nearly expelled because of the originality of his art, he began to be respected towards the end of the century. The theme of masks is central to work of Ensor. It produces strangely compelling works of peerless originality, charged with meanings psychological, intellectual and pictural, passing indirect judgement on the nature of mankind and his deepest convictions. A precursor of Expressionism, he influenced Emil Nolde (who adopted his theme of the mask) and Paul Klee. His fantastical universe foreshadows Surrealism.

A tour around the house museum and grave of the famous Belgium painter.
http://www.missingimages.com/jamesensor/
This website is about James Ensor (Belgium's Famous painter) and involves a tour of his house and grave in Ostend. The background story is that curiosity totally got the better of me after the umpteenth playing of Meet James Ensor by They Might Be Giants, and so on 24 June 2001 I set off on a mission to dig him up, shake his hand and understand the man.

Biografía:
Pintor belga, cuyos retratos, que ofrecen una visión grotesca de la humanidad, le convirtieron en el principal precursor del expresionismo y del surrealismo. Nació el 13 de abril de 1860 en Ostende, Bélgica, donde transcurrió toda su vida, exceptuando los tres años que asistió a la Academia de Bruselas, entre 1877 y 1880. Sus primeras obras tratan temas tradicionales paisajes, naturalezas muertas, retratos, escenas de interiores y están pintadas con un colorido rico y profundo, con una iluminación suave pero vibrante. A mediados de la década de 1880, bajo la influencia del rico colorido de los impresionistas y la imaginería grotesca de maestros flamencos antiguos, como Hieronymus Bosch y Pieter Bruegel , el Viejo, se dedicó a desarrollar temas y estilos vanguardistas, en especial de los festejos multitudinarios de Ostende, que le producían repulsión y rechazo. Representaba a la humanidad como algo estúpido, amanerado, vano y odioso, retratando a los individuos como payasos o esqueletos, y reemplazando los rostros por máscaras de carnaval. En esta línea destaca su lienzo de enormes proporciones La entrada de Cristo en Bruselas en 1889 (1888, Museo J. Paul Getty, Malibú, California). Ensor utilizaba de forma deliberada colores fuertes y estridentes, así como pinceladas violentas y bruscas para potenciar el efecto agresivo de sus temas. Su obra ejerció una influencia de gran importancia en la pintura del siglo XX y su temática espeluznante allanó el caminó al surrealismo y al dadá, y sus técnicas, especialmente su pincelada y su sentido cromático, condujeron directamente al expresionismo. Murió el 19 de noviembre de 1949 en Ostende, en donde hoy existe un museo dedicado a su obra. ©

Interesting Stuff : Like Bosch before him, much of Ensor's work is filled with lots of grotesque, macabre figures. From the work above, you can tell he's quite a fan of striking colors as well. Ensor - Christ
Comparison Chart James Ensor Jesus Born in Ostend in 1860 Born away in a manger, AD Founding member of "Les XX", a short-lived group of artists Founder of a major world religion still practiced by millions today Was persecuted by angry art critics Was persecuted by angry Romans Left his mark in paintings Left his mark on a shroud For a time during his career he really identified with Christ, feeling his suffering as an obscure artist with unkind critics paralleled Christ's suffering. (If he was really suffering, shouldn't he have identified more with Job? And, I mean, how bad could life have actually been? It's not like anyone nailed him to a cross or anything. Ah, but I digress...) That is, until he became more widely known and loved as an artist. Then he cheered up. So much for the similarity. You can find other similarities in the handy Ensor-Christ comparison chart to the right. He became so famous in his home country of Belgium that King Albert made him a Baron. Now that's cool!

James Sidney Ensor born: Ostend, Belgium; 13 April 1860
died: Ostend, Belgium; 19 November 1949 Ensor's father was a British engineer and his mother was from Ostend, Belgium. Ostend was a small seaside resort town. His mother supported the family by running a souvenir and gift shop. The shop sold Chinese goods, seashells, and Carnival masks, elements that play a strong part in Ensor's art. Ensor's sister, Mariette, was born about a year after him. At Sixteen Ensor was already showing his talent for art. These two pictures are made with oil paint on cardboard packing from his mother's gift shop, in Ostend, Belgium.

, on the cross, his flesh being eaten by devils, apes, people. The tangles of the picture, the unnatural postures its protagonists assume as they twist in the air call up fifteenth-century Central European woodcuts of the Antichrist, held in the air by demons, to prove that he can fly, that he is God. The 1888 etching Combat of Demons Funeral Procession Death Pursuing the People , where a giant skeleton wields his scythe from the rooftops as the fleeing crowds seem to wave in the streets like wheat. There is no piety in these pictures, as there is none in , and there is something beyond blasphemy. Ensor was anticlerical, his biographers will tell you, but like many who hated the church he loved the idea of Jesus: pure, innocent, truthful, the first martyr and the last. Some even say that Scandalized Masks The Millennium of Hieronymus Bosch Unplugged show, with his great 1990s band, the song was not a thing in itself, but a reference to something else.

James Ensor of 2
Born 1860, Died 1949
Painter, Draftsman
Belgian
Except for three years studying history and religious painting at the Brussels academy, James Ensor, a Belgian painter, printmaker, and draftsman, lived in Ostend, Belgium, all his life. He began his artistic career as a portrait painter but soon became involved with the avant-garde group Les XX (the Twenty), whose goal was to promote new artistic developments throughout Europe. Although Ensor was considered the group’s leader and founder, he had sharp differences of opinion with other group members. Art critics treated the group harshly, and Les XX disbanded after a decade. In the mid-1880s, Ensor suffered from an ulcer and from a personal crisis: his family forbade him to marry the woman he loved. He returned to painting religious subjects and plunged to the depths of despair when he decided to sell the contents of his studio in the 1890s. After the turn of the century, Ensor finally won acclaim and respectability. He was knighted and given the title of Baron. The 1908 publication of a book about his life and works confirmed his standing and reputation. In later years, he wrote music, designed sets for ballets, and continued to paint until his death at eighty-nine. Related Bookstore items: James Ensor: Christ's Entry into Brussels in 1889

While the public and press were at first hostile to his work, his paintings continued to be exhibited, and he gradually won worldwide acclaim. In 1929, Ensor was made a baron by King Albert. His home in Ostend became a museum after his death. His early style of painting is characterized by somber color, thick impasto, and an earthy realism with occasional hints of the fantastic. Toward 1883 his palette lightened, and by 1887 his paintings were flooded with intense light and strong color. From 1887 to 1900 he produced his most inventive and original work. Ensor's sources included the grotesque fantasies of Bosch, Bruegel, and Callot. Among his masterpieces is The Temptation of St. Anthony

Ostenda,1860-1949 Isolated and nonconformist,Ensor is a leading figure in European painting after Impressionism.
Born in Ostend, Belgium where his parents had a souvenir shop. Ensor attended the Brussels Beaux-Arts from 1877-1880. A founder member of the group XX, from which he was nearly expelled because of the originality of his art, he began to be respected towards the end of the century. The theme of masks is central to work of Ensor. It produces strangely compelling works of peerless originality, charged with meanings psychological, intellectual and pictural, passing indirect judgement on the nature of mankind and his deepest convictions. The height of this ironic but disturbing painting flows in the choking presence of sneering faces,often unrecognizable. A model of this trend is "The entrance of Christ in Bruxelles"(1888),a singular and queer canvas,of overwhelming chromatic strength. A precursor of Expressionism, he influenced Emil Nolde (who adopted his theme of the mask) and Paul Klee.
