James Ensor is a Belgian artist, who created peculiar fantasies
under the motifs of masks and skeletons. It was late in the
19th century that his creativity had reached its
peak.
Above all, this work produced in 1899 is said to be his last
masterpiece. So many masks in the picture represent the artistic
world and the people in Belgium that did not recognize his talent
and kept alienating him. The picture, which clearly shows his
offensiveness with striking colors, is now highly evaluated
as a front-running work of the paintings in the 20th
century.
