Overview

This is a unique journey with James Ensor through the history of still life in Belgium in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Still life played an important role within the work of Belgian expressionist and symbolist painter James Ensor (1860-1949). The quality and significance of his intriguingly complex still lifes become clear when placed within the broader development of the genre in Belgium between 1830 and 1930. The book offers an overview of the nineteenth-century Belgian academic tradition of decorative painting, with intriguing work by lesser-known painters such as Jean Robie, Hubert Bellis, Frans Mortelmans, and Henri De Braekeleer, as well as forgotten female artists such as Berthe Art and Alice Ronner.
