Sinopsis

Bilingual Edition (English / German)

The Belgian painter and graphic artist James Ensor (1860–1949) has a special place in the history of the art of the twentieth century. Categorized as a "painter of masks," he styled himself as an individualist and outsider, but was also a harbinger and generator of impulses for future generations. The publication accompanying the exhibition at the Kunsthalle Mannheim focuses on the fate of one picture, Masks and Death of 1897, which was once part of the collection, was seized by the National Socialists in 1937 and is found today at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Liège. Grouped around this work and the picture Still Life with Rooster, which was acquired as a replacement in the 1950s, are numerous other works dealing with the set of motifs of "self-portrait?mask?death?still life," and show how closely interwoven these topics are in Ensor’s oeuvre.

Der belgische Maler und Grafiker James Ensor (1860–1949) nimmt in der Kunstgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts einen besonderen Rang ein. Als „Maler der Masken" kategorisiert, stilisierte er sich selbst als Einzelgänger und Außenseiter, war aber auch Vorläufer und Impulsgeber künftiger Generationen. Die Publikation zur Ausstellung in der Kunsthalle Mannheim stellt das Schicksal eines Bildes, Die Masken und der Tod von 1897, das einst zur Sammlung gehörte, 1937 von den Nationalsozialisten beschlagnahmt wurde und sich heute im Musee des Beaux-Arts Lüttich befindet, in den Fokus. Um dieses und als Ersatz in den 1950ern erworbene Bild Stillleben mit Hahn gruppieren sich zahlreiche weitere Werke zum Motivkreis „Selbstbildnis – Maske – Tod – Stillleben", die zeigen, wie eng verflochten diese Themen in Ensors Œuvre waren.
