The work delves into Ensor's unique artistic vision and the socio-cultural milieu of Ostende, where he lived and worked, exploring the influences that shaped his style. It discusses his familial lineage and his connection to both English and Flemish cultures, highlighting the dualities in his artwork that evoke both humor and darkness. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the vibrant setting of Ostende, where English influences interact with local traditions, creating a backdrop for Ensor's artistic development. It provides vivid descriptions of the town's environment, contrasting the lively summer activities with the quieter, melancholic winter life. As Ensor immerses himself in this landscape, he is portrayed as a figure deeply engaged with objects and symbols that resonate with his view of the world, often embracing themes of misanthropy, humor, and irony. The beginning establishes a foundation for understanding the complex interplay between Ensor's surroundings and his artistic expression, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his work throughout the rest of the book.
