Mock Humanity!: Two Essays on James Ensor's Grotesques

By (author) Bart Verschaffel

| on special |

normal price: R 1,195.95

Price: R 1,135.95


| book description |

This book reveals that James Ensor did not develop his fantastic and grotesque universe of masks and skeletons out of his melancholic soul, but that he re-used and transformed an old image tradition that was collected and published by the French author and art critic Jules Champfleury in his History of Caricature. A second essay analyses how these weird creatures infiltrate the image borders and the frames of Ensor's paintings in order to disturb the 'normal' world.
