James Ensor

grew up in the seaside town of Ostend, Belgium, where he returned after studying at the Academie de Bruxelles, and worked for the rest of his life. Ensor painted in a studio that had once been his aunt and uncleís shell and souvenir shop, and although he shut its doors to the public, he left some of the merchandise as it was. As a leading member of the avant-garde group Les XX (The Twenty) he shared their harsh critical reception, but after Les XX disbanded, he continued to work and eventually won wide acclaim. By the time of his death in 1949 he had been made a baron, and his home is now the Ensor House museum.

Doctrinal Nourishment: Art and Anarchism in the Time of James Ensor
Text by Theresa Papanikolas, Kevin Salatino. A sharp send-up of authoritarian hubris--in which bloated, self-satisfied, bare-bottomed public officials excrete a foul diet literally to be swallowed by the masses--the etching "Doctrinal Nourishment" (1889/95) is one of Belgian artist James Ensor's mo >>more
