I Tend to Slightly Disagree

 ...about the draughtsman.


Intrigue: James Ensor by Luc Tuymans from Royal Academy of Arts on Vimeo.

To me James Ensor is foremostly a Colourist painter. His paintings are simply magnificent, especially when it comes to colour. No wonder - he admired William Turner a lot. I sincerely hope that "Christ's Entry Into Brussels in 1889" is on display, but then the Getty Museum, Los Angeles, wouldn't let go of it for the retrospective at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels in 1999.
