Rendez notre ancienne face fors les chers faux nez burlesques 1923

This satirical drawing, titled "Rendez notre ancienne face fors les chers faux nez burlesques," by Belgian artist James Ensor, from 1923, features a central grotesque figure surrounded by a host of contorted faces. The composition is chaotic, employing vibrant hues and bold lines, typical of Ensor's signature style. It exemplifies his fascination with the grotesque and his critiques of human folly and hypocrisy, reflecting the anxieties of early 20th-century Europe.
