Artist
James Sydney Ensor
James Sydney Ensor is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
James Sydney Ensor made strange, playful drawings of everyday objects and faces. He sketched a piggy bank in 1880–1949, turning a bank into a grinning creature with human eyes. His work sits between odd humor and sharp observation, a style that feels both real and dreamlike.
