James Ensor Art Quotations


I do not impose impressions. I attach no importance to labels. I don't like adjectives. -- James Ensor 

God is a force. He is that which is strong. God is what we believe in. -- James Ensor 

My art tends toward the literary. My pictures tend toward the outskirts of painting: But why generalize? It is possible to realize one thing or another, according to the impressions gained from one point of view or another. But it is too difficult to make a general rule. -- James Ensor
