O James Ensor (1860-1949)ήταν Βέλγος ζωγράφος που ασχολήθηκε μια περίοδο της ζωής του με αλλόκοτη και μακάβρια θεματολογία. Σε αυτούς τους πίνακες κυριαρχούσαν μορφές με φανταχτερά χρώματα, με παράξενες και αλλόκοτες μάσκες καρναβαλιού και θεάτρου, μαζί με σκελετούς και φονικά που πιθανότατα αποτελούσαν φανταστικές αλληγορίες, δοσμένες με ειρωνικό τρόπο, διαφόρων καταστάσεων, αναμονής ή απειλής θανάτου, κλπ. Σε μερικά του έργα θίγει με πολύ ωμό τρόπο εκκλησία και εξουσία από αναρχική σκοπιά.
Masks and Death
The Assassination
James Ensor (1860-1949) was a Belgian painter who dealt with bizarre subject matter during a period of his carrier. Such paintings feature figures in grotesque masks inspired by the ones sold in his mother's gift shop for Ostend's annual Carnival. Subjects such as carnivals, masks, puppetry, skeletons, and fantastic allegories are dominant in Ensor's mature work. Ensor dressed skeletons up in his studio and arranged them in colorful, enigmatic tableaux on the canvas, and used masks as a theatrical aspect in his still lifes. Attracted by masks' plastic forms, bright colors, and potential for psychological impact, he created a format in which he could paint with complete freedom. (wikipedia)
Αλλά πάντα από την αποστα- σιοποιημένη ματιά της τέχνης
Εργα τέχνης που απεικονίζουν σκοτεινές πλευρές της ιστορίας και του ανθρώπινου ψυχισμού, όπως ωμή βία, ρατσισμό, κακοποίηση και σφαγές άλλων -ΔΕΝ ΠΡΕΠΕΙ ΝΑ ΛΟΓΟΚΡΙΝΟΝΤΑΙ!! Πρέπει να αντιμετωπίζουμε πρόσωπο με πρόσωπο την ωμότητα και να πασχίζουμε να την κατανοήσουμε με κριτικό και αποστασιοποιημένο τρόπο, αν θέλουμε να φτιάξουμε έναν καλύτερο κόσμο.
Graphics that depict dark aspects of history—such as violence, intolerance, racism, aggressive nationalism, war and atrocity, abuse of others and of the environment in general—have not been censored. We must confront such harsh images directly—and struggle to critically understand them—if we hope to ever make a better world. ocw.mit.edu
