Retrospective in Brussels and a barony
After his first major retrospective in Brussels Ensor was made a baron by King Albert; that same year the composer Flor Alpaerts devoted his “James Ensor Suite” to him. Once a baron, the artist tried to withdraw his political etchings of 1889 from circulation.
1933
