WEBORGERS- The Belgian Painters One of the best-known Belgian modern painter: Magritte BELGIUM: A LAND OF PAINTERS... Belgium has a rich history in the art of painting. Famous painters like Bruegel, the Van Eycks, Rubens,Memling, Roger de la Pasture are Belgians. Just think about: the technique of the Western Art oil painting was invented in Bruges, this famous Belgian boom-town of the Middle Ages, where so many artists concentrated to be near the rich and the powerful of that time. I have no intention to give here a lecture about the history of painting, neither an encyclopedic view of the Belgian artists . Belgium as a matter of fact was and still is a land of painters. Bruegel: winter landscape >> MODERN ART IN THE BRUSSELS UNDERGROUND STATIONS! I will concentrate here more on some very well-known modern Belgian; however these top artists are not always identified as Belgian by the general public. I hope this page will give you the desire to explore more about Belgium and its painters... Plenty is to discover: very good museums all over the country, rich galleries, a lot of excellent artists in the graphic arts. Art is part of the daily environment, and in Brussels the underground system has its major stations decorated by modern Belgian artists like Sommeville, Pol Bury, Alechinsky, and many others... and even one is devoted to Hergé and his comics characters like Tintin, the Thompsons, Calculuus!!

He clearly belongs among the Symbolists, but rather after the fashion of the poet Jules Laforgue. Both Ensor and Laforgue use their powers of derision to unmask and disintegrate the threadbare, skeletal shibboleths revered by their more solemn and blinkered colleagues. "Born in Ostend, the son of an English father and a Belgian mother, James Ensor received a hostile reception not only from the critics but also from his own supposedly avant-garde colleagues. He escaped expulsion from the Salons des XX in 1889 by a single vote - his own. It was around 1900, when he was past forty, that Ensor finally won the recognition until then denied him. He was awarded the title of Baron, but his belated success had an unexpected consequence: Ensor's inspiration ran dry and the man survived the artist. "...Ensor's shopkeeping parents sold toys, articles for the beach, souvenirs and carnival masks. It is these masks, along with sardonic and insolent skeletons, that provide the dominant theme of Ensor's work. The ferocious sarcasm of his paintings, drawings and prints is, however, balanced by the pathos of his tragic representations of a Christ who figures as the artist's

The D.A.P. CATALOG @ artbook.com SEARCH Browse Catalog Bestsellers ... Ensor, James James Ensor Edited by Max Hollein and Ingrid Pfeiffer. Essays by Joachim Heusinger von Waldegg, Rudolf Schmitz and Xavier Tricot. 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 existenceparticularly 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.

Yokoyama, Taikan James Ensor Birth Year : 1860 Death Year : 1949 Country : Belgium The Germanic spirit that so violently separated the self and the material world had a profound effect on its artists: witness the tortuously emotional lives of Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch Salvador Dali , but are devised, rather, to clarify a real situation, compulsive projections of mental states. In its historical context, Ensor's art reflects the tensions of his time. He exalted rather than minimized these tensions and identified himself with them. He was seized by the tragic image of life and the alienation of the self from the world. During his lifetime, Ensor's art of mystical expressionism was little understood. A generation later the Surrealists would discover many things in his art including a controlled violence, and the ability to express the inexpressible in forms experienced in the dream-like, or comatose state of the subconscious; and thus he would be declared a precursor to their own work.

Baron James Sidney Ensor Baron James Sidney Ensor (1860-1949) was a Belgian painter whose unique portrayals of grotesque humanity made him a principal precursor of 20th-century expressionism and surrealism. Ensor was born on 13 April in Ostend, Belgium, and, except for three years spent at the Brussels Academy (1877-1880), he lived in Ostend all his life. His early works were of traditional subjects - landscapes, still lifes, portraits, interiors - painted in deep, rich colors and lighted by subdued but vibrant light. In the mid-1880s, influenced by the bright color of the impressionists and the grotesque imagery of earlier Flemish masters such as Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Ensor turned toward avant-garde themes and styles. He took his subject matter principally from Ostend's holiday crowds, which filled him with revulsion and disgust. Portraying individuals as clowns or skeletons or replacing their faces with carnival masks, he represented humanity as stupid, smirking, vain, and loathsome. Outstanding in this vein is his immense canvas “The Entry of Christ into Brussels” in 1889 (Collection Colonel L. Frank, London).

He was an expressionist, like other 20th century expressionist painters, who was ahead of his time and was very eccentric. The line "Dig him up and shake his hand" is actually very specific - a parallel idea to a lot of his paintings which involve resurrections, skeletons and puppets being animated. It's not an accident that the language of the song reflects his work. He did a painting - titled something like "Self Portrait in 1970". It's a skeleton, wearing his clothes. He became a phenomenon right before the turn of the century. With the song, I'm trying to encapsulate the issues of his life - an eccentric guy who became celebrated and was soon left behind as his ideas were taken into the culture and other people became expressionists.

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.

var totalAV = 0; World Map Regional Map The Banquet of the Starved Oil on canvas; 45 1/2 x 57 1/4 in. (115.6 x 145.4 cm) The Belgian artist James Ensor saw himself as the modern interpreter of the type of nightmare fantasies painted by the fifteenth-century Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch. Ensor spent his entire life in Ostend, Belgium, a famous nineteenth-century seaside resort whose carnival atmosphere turned dark and sinister in his paintings. Ensor's natural predilection for the macabre had a firm basis in reality when he painted The Banquet of the Starved in 1915. Late in 1914, German troops had invaded Belgium. While most of Ensor's friends fled to England, he remained in Ostend for the duration of the war. Under Occupation, Belgium suffered terrible food shortages, and this, together with Ensor's disdain for the invaders, probably prompted this painting. Seated around a table like a traditional Last Supper are a host of grotesque and masked figures engaged in disturbing acts of murder, seduction, flattery, and illness. The meager meal laid out on the table is decidedly unappetizing, and the skeleton pictures on the wall increase the unsettling effect of the whole picture. Long before Expressionism became a recognized style of painting, Ensor ravaged his canvas with brutal brushwork.

Z James Ensor Biography James Sidney Ensor , Baron Ensor (1860-1949), was a Belgian painter, whose unique portrayals of grotesque humanity made him a principal precursor of 20th-century expressionism and surrealism. Ensor was born April 13, 1860, in Ostend, Belgium, and, except for three years spent at the Brussels Academy, from 1877 to 1880, he lived in Ostend all his life. His early works were of traditional subject landscapes, still lifes, portraits, interiors painted in deep, rich colors and lighted by subdued but vibrant light.

Outstanding in this vein is his immense canvas Christ's Entry Into Brussels in 1889 (1888, J. Paul Getty Center, Los Angeles, California). Ensor deliberately used harsh, garish colors and violent, broken brushstrokes to heighten the violent effect of his subjects. His work had an important influence on 20th-century painting, his lurid subject matter paving the way for surrealism and Dada, and his techniques particularly his brushwork and his coloristic sense leading directly to expressionism. He died on November 19, 1949, in Ostend, where there is now a museum devoted to his work.

ETCHED FOREVER `The Descent of Christ into Hell' Born on April 13, 1860, James Sidney Ensor was one of the first fin de siécle (turn of the century) artists to break away from the prettiness of Impressionism. Son of an English father and Belgian mother, Ensor spent his childhood in his parents' souvenir shop in Ostend, a fishing village on the Belgian coast. The shop with its puppets, masks and seashells are a recurring theme in Ensor's paintings. He left Ostend for only three years (1877 to 1880) to study history and religious painting at Academie de Bruxelles. Ensor started painting early and by the age of 21 was exhibiting Impressionist seascapes at the Brussels salon. When the prestigious Paris salon accepted his paintings a year later, it seemed Ensor was his way to the stratosphere. But then Ensor rejected the Impressionist style for a dramatic style characterised with aggressive brushwork in place of the delicate Pointillism, bright, garish colours in place of the pretty pastels and bizarre and macabre figures sporting carnival masks. He took inspiration from earlier Flemish painters like Hieronymous Bosch and Peter Brueghel the Elder. His fortunes changed dramatically and his paintings were rejected and received scathing reviews.
