I know the They Might Be Giants song, but I had never seen any of James Ensor's work. His earlier work is fairly normal stuff, but his later work strikes my interest more. He created a number of works, depicting crowds in masks during Carnival. Ensor was interested in the pschological implications of masks. I'm not super excited about his painting style, I feel like his drawings are more interesting without the application of paint. I'm most interested in his compositional arrangements of crowds.
