Changed 'duo' to 'band' in the reference to They Might Be Giants, as John Henry, the album containing the song 'Meet James Ensor', was the first album to created by the full-band TMBG. A bit of nit-picking, I know. 72.74.196.2 11:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
The German version of this page contains a reference to 'Galerie de la Gazette'. Does anyone have any information on who/what/where this is? This is only 1 of 2 hits I got searching the web for that phrase.
Thanks!
What happened to this page? It seemed much more complete to me than the current stub. http://209.85.129.104/search?q=cache:ACdQ_Hu9ckcJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Ensor+louise+bourgeois+ensor&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1

In the Death Note live action movie an important scene takes place in front of a James Ensor painting, but the character says she is looking at a "ekusuhso kenak" painting. I think this is worth mentioning, but will leave it to someone else to do so.
I think James Ensor is rather expressionist than impressionist. If someone confirms, it would be good to modify this entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.230.113.59 ( talk • contribs) 13:00, May 8, 2007 (UTC).

The bullet list of references in other media has been removed, and the more significant content integrated into the "Influence and legacy" section. Deleted lines:
It is curious that this information has been placed in James Ensor, instead of in the respective articles ( Halloween, Manhattan, and Oldboy) where it might be useful. A WP reader seeking an answer to the question, "what was that poster hanging in the background in Halloween", will go to Halloween, not here. The James Ensor article is not improved by adding a pointless list of films bearing no relation to Ensor except that a poster is on a wall in one scene. Ewulp ( talk) 04:32, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
The paragraph about Pelletier is also trimmed. He seems nonnotable as a painter, although the work in question attracted limited attention in freethought circles, having been displayed at several humanist venues but apparently no museums. The external link seems worth keeping as it supports the statement that painters continue to do homage to Ensor. Ewulp ( talk) 08:53, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
1) there is no Freedom of Panorama in Belgium. As the author of the bust died in 1956, it is copyrighted until 2026 (we will actually be able to use Ensor's paintings earlier). This is a copyright infringement, I am afraid.
2) Considering that Ensor was of British descent, met a lot of British people in Ostend, which for a long time was a favourite destination for British tourists, is it not a bit awkward that we are using American spelling here? Note that I am not sure about this Legion of Nonor. If it is the Légion d'Honneur, it should be stated as Légion d'Honneur. Not Legion of Hono(u)r.
3) "Nearly lost amid the teeming throng is Christ on his donkey; although Ensor was an atheist, he identified with Christ as a victim of mockery. The piece was rejected by Les XX and was not publicly displayed until 1929." This juxtaposition of two sourced statements is probably OR, as it creates the impression that Les XX rejected it because the way it portrayed Christ - or beacause it portrayed Christ at all. However, the Dutch version claims that by 1889, when the exhibition was to be held, the painting was not yet finished... -- Paul Pieniezny ( talk) 13:37, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
James Ensor. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}

nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{

"During the late 19th century much of his work was rejected as scandalous, particularly his painting Christ's Entry Into Brussels in 1889 (1888–89)." But while the article on that work mentions that it wasn't accepted, no mention is made of a scandal of any kind. It would be of value for someone to elaborate there.

The section mentions Ensor "Attracted by masks' plastic forms, bright colors, and potential for psychological impact, he created a format in which he could paint with complete freedom". However, plastic was not invented until 1907. Were the masks made of another medium? Duggster522 ( talk) 21:35, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
