1904
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Seven Deadly Sins: Anger is a 1904 by James Ensor, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a chaotic scene with seven wild figures in the middle of a storm. The people are twisted, some with animal-like faces, and they’re all moving in different directions. One holds a flag, another clutches a baby, and the sky is full of swirling lines that look like wind or chaos. The title says this is about "Anger," one of the seven deadly sins. The artist used bold, dark lines and rough shading to make the scene feel messy and uncontrolled. Next, check out James Ensor to see more of his strange, expressive style.
James Sidney Edouard, Baron Ensor (13 April 1860 – 19 November 1949) was a Belgian painter and printmaker, an important influence on expressionism and surrealism who lived in Ostend for most of his life.
