His avant-garde work had a decisive influence on German Expressionism as well as on French and Belgian Surrealism.

He remarked of himself that he "changed styles as easily as changing shirts." The full diversity of Ensor's oeuvre is presented in this catalogue raisonne, illustrated with a majority of color plates. The book also includes a detailed and fully illustrated chronology of Ensor's life and work. Subjects: Ensor, James, 1860-1949 - Catalogues raisonnes. Painters - Belgium - Biography. Notes: Text by Xavier Tricot. First published in 1992 under title: James Ensor : catalogue raisonne of the paintings. This edition with biography and new catalogue raisonne.

Rese�a del editor:

Coinciding with renewed interest in James Ensor, this catalogue raisonn comes as an essential and definitive volume for Ensor buffs and all serious libraries of modern art. A legend in his own lifetime, Ensor (1860-1949) was--alongside Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch--a fearless independent whose work led directly to the development of German Expressionism and French Surrealism. Ensor achieved fame as the "painter of masks," and for his bizarre still lifes and grotesque carnival scenes, in harsh, contrasting, brilliant colors, evolving out of the traditional Flemish dance of death. Now, the reader can explore the Belgian painter's oeuvre thoroughly, in this opulently illustrated, full-color, slipcased catalogue raisonn . A comprehensive illustrated chronology offers additional details about the artist's life and work, and forms an integral part of this splendid, highly valuable contribution to art historical research, ensuring the legacy of a great artist who continues to inspire contemporary art.

Rese�a del editor:

Breit angelegter �berblick �ber alle Schaffensphasen im Werk des belgischen Exzentrikers.

Es gibt kaum einen anderen K�nstler des sp�ten 19. Jahrhunderts, dessen Werk so skurril, ironisch, tiefgr�ndig und reich an Interpretationsm�glichkeiten ist wie das des belgischen Malers James Ensor (1860-1949). Seine ungew�hnlichen Motive, die zum unverwechselbaren Sinnbild f�r die Absurdit�t des Daseins wurden, haben die deutschen Expressionisten ebenso beeinflusst wie die franz�sischen Surrealisten. Gerade in Hinblick auf neue Tendenzen wie die Manifestationen des Grotesken und Komischen in der zeitgen�ssischen Malerei gewinnt Ensors Schaffen erneut an Aktualit�t. Mit etwa 80 Meisterwerken auf Leinwand und �ber 60 Arbeiten auf Papier pr�sentiert die Monografie Schl�sselwerke aus allen Schaffensperioden; besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei dem von der Forschung lange Zeit vernachl�ssigten Sp�twerk des K�nstlers.
