Pride 1904

"Pride" (1904) is an etching by Belgian artist James Ensor. The artwork depicts a man in a tuxedo standing amongst a crowd of grotesque figures, their faces distorted and exaggerated. This print reflects Ensor's signature style of social satire and his fascination with the macabre. The composition is chaotic, with fantastical imagery and exaggerated features, creating a feeling of unease and discomfort. Ensor's use of vivid colors and bold lines further emphasizes the surreal nature of the scene, offering a commentary on human nature and social hierarchy.
