1904
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Seven Deadly Sins: Pride is a 1904 by James Ensor, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a dark suit standing in the center, surrounded by a chaotic crowd of faces. Some faces are grinning, others look angry or confused, and a few seem to float in the air. The background is filled with swirling lines and odd shapes, like a storm or tangled hair. The man’s stern expression and the messy crowd around him might hint at a warning. The artist’s name, James Ensor, is signed in the corner, along with the date 1904. Look up James Ensor next to see more of his strange, expressive work.
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.
