James Sidney Edouard, Baron Ensor (13 April 1860– 19 November 1949) was a Belgianpainter and printmaker, an important influence on expressionism and surrealism who lived in Ostend for almost his entire life. He was associated with the artistic group Les XX.
Biography
Ensor's father, James Frederic Ensor, born in Brussels of English parents, was a cultivated man who studied engineering in England and Germany. Ensor's mother, Maria Catherina Haegheman, was Belgian. Ensor himself lacked interest in academic study and left school at the age of fifteen to begin his artistic training with two local painters. From 1877 to 1880, he attended the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, where one of his fellow students was Fernand Khnopff. Ensor first exhibited his work in 1881. From 1880 until 1917, he had his studio in the attic of his parents' house. His travels were very few: three brief trips to France and two to the Netherlands in the 1880s, and a four-day trip to London in 1892.
Jon Smith (born Jonathan Nicholas Smith; 19 December 1975) is a British writer of fiction, non-fiction, screenplays, and musical theatre.

The Covert-One series is a sequence of thriller novels written by several authors after the death of Robert Ludlum, presumably according to some of his ideas. The books feature a team of political and technical experts, belonging to a top-secret U.S. agency called Covert-One, who fight corruption, conspiracy, and bioweaponary at the highest levels of society.
In northern Uganda, an American special forces team is decimated by a group of normally peaceful farmers. Video of the attack shows even women and children possessing almost supernatural speed and strength, consumed with a rage that makes them immune to pain, fear, and all but the most devastating injuries.
James Ensor is now mostly known for his paintings of groups and crowds of people wearing masks. Let's take a deeper look into these paintings.

James Ensor: A Master of Macabre Satire
James Ensor - A visionary Belgian artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who occupied a unique and compelling place in the annals of art history.
His works are a testament to his extraordinary ability to blend the fantastical with the mundane, the grotesque with the absurd, and the macabre with the humorous. Classically trained and infamous for painting with a skull propped on his easel, Ensor's art throughout his career defied convention and challenged societal norms of his time.
With a style characterised by vivid colours, jarring details, and a penchant for satire, he is often associated with the Symbolist and Expressionist movements, yet his oeuvre transcends easy categorization.
Through his paintings, drawings, and etchings, Ensor delved into the human psyche, peeling...

"This painting is a bit like a metaphor for the world that Ensor lived in. He saw himself as quite rational and sane, and all the people around him quite the opposite".

James Ensor in vogelvlucht - Weg met de maskers (afl. 1)
Een van de schoonste schatten van het KMSKA is onze Ensorcollectie. Een goudmijn, de grootste ter wereld! James Ensor ging de geschiedenis in als de schilder van maskers. Maar hij is zo veel meer dan dat. In de eerste aflevering van onze videoreeks over Ensor neemt conservator Herwig Todts de maskers weg. En we trekken naar Oostende, waar Ensor werd geboren, z'n hondjes uitliet en stierf.

With a style characterised by vivid colours, jarring details, and a penchant for satire, he is often associated with the Symbolist and Expressionist movements, yet his oeuvre transcends easy categorization.
Through his paintings, drawings, and etchings, Ensor delved into the human psyche, peeling back layers of societal masks to reveal the complexities and contradictions of the human condition.
His art is a captivating exploration of the subconscious, a carnival of symbolism, and a powerful commentary on the tumultuous era in which he lived.
In this video, we’re going to be exploring some of James Ensor's most bizarre and disturbing artwork, to help us delve deeper into the enigmatic world he created, a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary and the grotesque becomes beautiful, leaving an indelible mark on the evolution of the art world.

James Ensor: A collection of 148 works (HD)
Description: "Ensor's father, James Frederic Ensor, born in Brussels of English parents, was a cultivated man who studied engineering in England and Germany. Ensor's mother, Maria Catherina Haegheman, was Belgian. Ensor himself lacked interest in academic study and left school at the age of fifteen to begin his artistic training with two local painters. From 1877 to 1880, he attended the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, where one of his fellow students was Fernand Khnopff. Ensor first exhibited his work in 1881. From 1880 until 1917, he had his studio in the attic of his parents' house. His travels were very few: three brief trips to France and two to the Netherlands in the 1880s, and a four-day trip to London in 1892.
During the late 19th century much of his work was rejected as scandalous, particularly his painting Christ's Entry Into Brussels in 1889 (1888–89). The Belgium art critic Octave Maus famously summed up the response from contemporaneous art critics to Ensor's innovative (and often scathingly political) work: "Ensor is the leader of a clan. Ensor is the limelight. Ensor sums up and concentrates certain principles which are considered to be anarchistic. In short, Ensor is a dangerous person who has great changes. . . . He is consequently marked for blows. It is at him that all the harquebuses are aimed. It is on his head that are dumped the most aromatic containers of the so-called serious critics." Some of Ensor's contemporaneous work reveals his precocious response to this criticism. For example, the 1887 etching "Le Pisseur" depicts the artist urinating on a grafitied wall declaring (in the voice of an art critic) "Ensor set un fou" or "Ensor is a Madman."
But his paintings continued to be exhibited, and he gradually won acceptance and acclaim. In 1895 his painting The Lamp Boy (1880) was acquired by the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels, and he had his first solo exhibition in Brussels.[5] By 1920 he was the subject of major exhibitions; in 1929 he was named a Baron by King Albert, and was the subject of the Belgian composer Flor Alpaerts's James Ensor Suite; and in 1933 he was awarded the band of the Légion d'honneur. Even in the first decade of the 20th century, however, his production of new works was diminishing, and he increasingly concentrated on music—although he had no musical training, he was a gifted improviser on the harmonium, and spent much time performing for visitors.[6] Against the advice of friends, he remained in Ostend during World War II despite the risk of bombardment. In his old age he was an honored figure among Belgians, and his daily walk made him a familiar sight in Ostend. He died there after a short illness, on 19 November 1949."

Ensor is considered to be an innovator in 19th-century art. Although he stood apart from other artists of his time, he significantly influenced such 20th-century artists as Paul Klee, Emil Nolde, George Grosz, Alfred Kubin, Wols, Felix Nussbaum, and other expressionist and surrealist painters of the 20th century. As Los Angeles County Museum of Art CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director Michael Govan has explained: "James Ensor's signature style – his radical distortion of form, his ambiguous space, his riotous color, his muddled surfaces, and his proclivity for the bizarre – both anticipated and influenced modernist movements from symbolism and German expressionism to dada and surrealism.

James Ensor - A visionary Belgian artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who occupied a unique and compelling place in the annals of art history.
His works are a testament to his extraordinary ability to blend the fantastical with the mundane, the grotesque with the absurd, and the macabre with the humorous. Classically trained and infamous for painting with a skull propped on his easel, Ensor's art throughout his career defied convention and challenged societal norms of his time.
With a style characterised by vivid colours, jarring details, and a penchant for satire, he is often associated with the Symbolist and Expressionist movements, yet his oeuvre transcends easy categorization.
Through his paintings, drawings, and etchings, Ensor delved into the human psyche, peeling back layers of societal masks to reveal the complexities and contradictions of the human condition.
His art is a captivating exploration of the subconscious, a carnival of symbolism, and a powerful commentary on the tumultuous era in which he lived.
In this video, we’re going to be exploring some of James Ensor's most bizarre and disturbing artwork, to help us delve deeper into the enigmatic world he created, a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary and the grotesque becomes beautiful, leaving an indelible mark on the evolution of the art world.

James Ensor: A collection of 148 works (HD)
Description: "Ensor's father, James Frederic Ensor, born in Brussels of English parents, was a cultivated man who studied engineering in England and Germany. Ensor's mother, Maria Catherina Haegheman, was Belgian. Ensor himself lacked interest in academic study and left school at the age of fifteen to begin his artistic training with two local painters. From 1877 to 1880, he attended the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, where one of his fellow students was Fernand Khnopff. Ensor first exhibited his work in 1881. From 1880 until 1917, he had his studio in the attic of his parents' house. His travels were very few: three brief trips to France and two to the Netherlands in the 1880s, and a four-day trip to London in 1892.
During the late 19th century much of his work was rejected as scandalous, particularly his painting Christ's Entry Into Brussels in 1889 (1888–89). The Belgium art critic Octave Maus famously summed up the response from contemporaneous art critics to Ensor's innovative (and often scathingly political) work: "Ensor is the leader of a clan. Ensor is the limelight. Ensor sums up and concentrates certain principles which are considered to be anarchistic. In short, Ensor is a dangerous person who has great changes. . . . He is consequently marked for blows. It is at him that all the harquebuses are aimed. It is on his head that are dumped the most aromatic containers of the so-called serious critics." Some of Ensor's contemporaneous work reveals his precocious response to this criticism. For example, the 1887 etching "Le Pisseur" depicts the artist urinating on a grafitied wall declaring (in the voice of an art critic) "Ensor set un fou" or "Ensor is a Madman."
But his paintings continued to be exhibited, and he gradually won acceptance and acclaim. In 1895 his painting The Lamp Boy (1880) was acquired by the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels, and he had his first solo exhibition in Brussels.[5] By 1920 he was the subject of major exhibitions; in 1929 he was named a Baron by King Albert, and was the subject of the Belgian composer Flor Alpaerts's James Ensor Suite; and in 1933 he was awarded the band of the Légion d'honneur. Even in the first decade of the 20th century, however, his production of new works was diminishing, and he increasingly concentrated on music—although he had no musical training, he was a gifted improviser on the harmonium, and spent much time performing for visitors.[6] Against the advice of friends, he remained in Ostend during World War II despite the risk of bombardment. In his old age he was an honored figure among Belgians, and his daily walk made him a familiar sight in Ostend. He died there after a short illness, on 19 November 1949."

Paintbrush in hand, the artist stands at his easel. It's a typical self-portrait, but for one crucial detail – where his head should be, there is instead a grinning skull. Why?

[The Artist]
James Sidney Edouard, Baron Ensor (13 April 1860 – 19 November 1949)was a Belgian painter and printmaker, an important influence on expressionism and surrealism who lived in Ostend for most of his life. He was associated with the artistic group Les XX.
Ensor is considered to be an innovator in 19th-century art. Although he stood apart from other artists of his time, he significantly influenced such 20th-century artists as Paul Klee, Emil Nolde, George Grosz, Alfred Kubin, Wols, Felix Nussbaum, and other expressionist and surrealist painters of the 20th century. As Los Angeles County Museum of Art CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director Michael Govan has explained: "James Ensor's signature style – his radical distortion of form, his ambiguous space, his riotous color, his muddled surfaces, and his proclivity for the bizarre – both anticipated and influenced modernist movements from symbolism and German expressionism to dada and surrealism.

"This painting is a bit like a metaphor for the world that Ensor lived in. He saw himself as quite rational and sane, and all the people around him quite the opposite". Curator Adrian Locke discusses Ensor's lithograph 'The Artist Surrounded by Evil Spirits’ (1898) and the determinedly anti-establishment life of the Belgian painter.

Een van de schoonste schatten van het KMSKA is onze Ensorcollectie. Een goudmijn, de grootste ter wereld! James Ensor ging de geschiedenis in als de schilder van maskers. Maar hij is zo veel meer dan dat. In de eerste aflevering van onze videoreeks over Ensor neemt conservator Herwig Todts de maskers weg. En we trekken naar Oostende, waar Ensor werd geboren, z'n hondjes uitliet en stierf.
