Intrigue: James Ensor by Luc Tuymans opens 29th October at the RA

kojv86zcbco4iv5kkrbr

Enter the theatrical and macabre world of
James Ensor

‘…two greats of the kingdom come together; with contemporary painter
Luc Tuymans curating the work of his 20th-century predecessor,
the rhapsodic, exuberant, expressionist James Ensor’.
The Guardian.

The theatrical, the satirical and the macabre come together in arresting fashion in the art of James Ensor. An innovator and an outsider, Ensor rebelled against the conservative art teachings of the late 19th century academy in Brussels, drawn instead to the avant-garde salons where his radical creative vision could thrive.

Acquaint yourself with Ensor and his work in our Beginners Guide.

Exhibition opens 29 October. Friends of the RA go free.

THE EY EXHIBITION: WIFREDO LAM
Discover the fascinating career of Wifredo Lam in a new retrospective at Tate Modern.

One of the most iconic Cuban artists of the twentieth-century, Lam’s distinctive style shook the assumptions of western Modernism as he mixed avant-garde art with Caribbean culture.

Now, in our increasingly connected world, Lam’s globally inspired work feels more relevant than ever before.
