Few artists of the late nineteenth century produced an oeuvre more bizarre, ironic, profound and rich in interpretive possibilities than the Belgian painter James Ensor. Ensor lived from 1860 until 1949, and has enjoyed newfound fame since 1994 as the subject of the They Might Be Giants song "Meet James Ensor." His unusual work challenged standards of taste and technique by mingling the influence of his Belgian forbears, Bosch and Breugel, with a bright, loosely brushed impressionist style. Ensor offered unmistakable symbols of the absurdity of existence--particularly in portraying the tourists who flooded his native Ostend on their vacations, whom he caricatured mercilessly as clowns and skeletons, or concealed behind brightly colored carnival masks. His painting influenced both German Expressionists and French Surrealists. When seen in the light of new trends towards the grotesque and comic in contemporary painting, his work obtains new currency. James Ensor includes some eighty masterpieces on canvas and sixty works on paper from international museums and private collections, with key pieces from each of his creative periods. Particular attention is paid to his late work, long neglected by scholarship, in order to prepare the ground for a re-evaluation.

Breit angelegter Überblick über alle Schaffensphasen im Werk des belgischen Exzentrikers.
Es gibt kaum einen anderen Künstler des späten 19. Jahrhunderts, dessen Werk so skurril, ironisch, tiefgründig und reich an Interpretationsmöglichkeiten ist wie das des belgischen Malers James Ensor (1860-1949). Seine ungewöhnlichen Motive, die zum unverwechselbaren Sinnbild für die Absurdität des Daseins wurden, haben die deutschen Expressionisten ebenso beeinflusst wie die französischen Surrealisten. Gerade in Hinblick auf neue Tendenzen wie die Manifestationen des Grotesken und Komischen in der zeitgenössischen Malerei gewinnt Ensors Schaffen erneut an Aktualität. Mit etwa 80 Meisterwerken auf Leinwand und über 60 Arbeiten auf Papier präsentiert die Monografie Schlüsselwerke aus allen Schaffensperioden; besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei dem von der Forschung lange Zeit vernachlässigten Spätwerk des Künstlers.
