CALIFORNIA---Next summer, the Getty Center charts James Ensor's astonishing artistic development in the decade culminating with his avant-garde masterpiece, "Christ's Entry into Brussels in 1889", a shockingly satirical indictment of modern Belgian society that is one of the museums major highlights. The exhibition presents more than thirty Ensor paintings from the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp, along with a rich selection of the artist's drawings and etchings from the Art Institute of Chicago, the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Research Institute, and several other key lenders.

I have seen only one Ensor painting, and it was a transformative event.
