1889
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Village Fair at the Windmill is a 1889 by James Ensor, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet village scene with a windmill in the center. Trees line the sides, and a small crowd of people walks near a body of water. The sky looks stormy, with rough, swirling lines. The title says it’s a "village fair," but the mood feels more serious than festive. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and texture. Look up James Ensor next to see how he played with light and mood in other works.
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.
