James Ensor - "Prints and Paintings", exhibition
Krakow, International Center for Culture, June 13 - August 25, 2002
languages: Polski  / English 
 

The exhibition "James Ensor - Prints and Paintings" is the first significant presentation in Poland of this artist's prints and paintings.

James Ensor (1860-1949), a precursor of Symbolism and Expressionism, was one of the world's most exceptional artists at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The core of his output consists of prints created in a variety of graphic art techniques. Ensor's lithographs are replete with fantastic and macabre motifs akin to the iconography of Breughl and Bosch. The artist's highly intriguing works were impressive for his changeable, virtuoso style. The dramatic tone of these compositions contrasts with the poetic mood and grace of his seascapes from the region around Ostend. As depicted by Ensor, schooners and rowboats rocking on the waves and masts as dense as forests in port exude peace and are charming for their simplicity. The works of this Flemish artist, abounding with symbolic themes, express a range of moods, feelings and spiritual states, manifesting human passions and suggesting subdued desires. They are at once grotesque and ironic, humorous and frightening. The exhibition JAMES ENSOR - GRAFIKA I MALARSTWO / PRINTS AND PAINTINGS is the first significant presentation in Poland of this artist's prints and painting.

Exhibition's opening: June 12, 2002 at 5 p.m.
