This breathtaking multi-dimensional exploration of Belgium’s most famous artist looks beyond his identity as a painter of masks and reveals a man of—and ahead of—his time.While James Ensor is often celebrated for his depictions of the grotesque imagery with a satirical edge, he was also a groundbreaking pioneer of modern art. His unique ability to blend realistic detail with abstract and fantastical elements placed him ahead of his time. Ensor’s innovative use of color and light was revolutionary, utilizing vivid and often clashing hues alongside dramatic contrasts to evoke emotional intensity and visual impact. His fascination with the macabre and grotesque further distinguished him from his contemporaries. This catalog, filled with stunning full-page images, features enlightening essays that explore Ensor’s work through various lenses, including the rise of anarchism in twentieth-century Europe, the influence of en plein air landscape sketching and Japonisme. Richly illustrated and thought-provoking, this book augments the current scholarship on Ensor by considering his work in dialog with the historical and cultural trends of his time.

James Ensor (1860–1949) was a Belgian painter known for his provocative and innovative works, often featuring masks and grotesque figures. Through mediums like etching and lithography, Ensor delved into themes of existential exploration and the macabre. His graphic oeuvre showcases his mastery of line and form, inviting us into a realm where masks, skeletons, and surreal landscapes converge to challenge conventions and provoke thought. But how did Ensor make prints? What techniques did he use? Which old masters inspired him and in what way did he experiment with this medium? James Ensor and the Graphic Experiment gathers the most remarkable results of Ensor's graphic experiments: preparatory drawings, copper plates and various states of prints.Image © Museum Plantin-Moretus, Antwerp

Jan Cox (1919-1980) was born in The Hague and spent his youth in Amsterdam. Shortly before World War II, he moved to Antwerp with his parents and his brother, the composer Harry Cox, and studied History of Art at the State University of Ghent. After the war he settled down in Brussels to become a co-founder of the Jeune Peinture Belge (Young Belgian Painting). He had contacts with the members of Cobra and became close friends with Hugo Claus and Pierre Alechinsky. In 1956 Jan Cox left for the USA where he was appointed Head of the Painting Department at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. In 1974 he returned to Belgium and found a new home in the circle of the Gallery De Zwarte Panter (The Black Panther) in Antwerp. Jan Cox thought of his artistic calling as an artistic and a humanist project. His painting has a strong surreal and magical bias but he also created imposing expressionist images. He liked classical themes: the myth of Orpheus, Homer's Iliad, Judith and Holofernes, the Calvary. Jan Cox managed to merge autobiographical elements with the universal problems of human existence. His paintings invite the beholder to reflect on the human condition, hope and the terrors of the modern world.
