It was never a sure thing that James Ensor (1860-1949), the Belgian painter of macabre and ghoulish scenes, would become a nationally revered figure. An expressionist before the term was coined, he used the iconography of masks and skeletons to point up the essential horrors of life, and often underwrote his images with a sardonic gallows humour.
