James Ensor

James Ensor (1860-1949) The Red apples (1883)

Ensor painted still lifes in a similar manner to that of Cezanne before Cezanne. An example is The Red Apples from 1883. He was a member of a group that he and his friends cofounded called “The Twenty” which focused on artistic freedom of expression. They reacted against French Impressionism and early on he established himself as the leader of that group. Ref. Accessible Art
