Daring and socially engaged, Ensor incorporated political, religious, historical, and autobiographical themes into his works. He is renowned for his vibrant portrayals of masked skeletons, seascapes, and carnivals, often bordering on the macabre or grotesque. Structured like a biography, this book delves into Ensor's life and art year by year. Chapters are adorned with Ensor's masterpieces, alongside archival photographs and previously unpublished letters.
