If you like Ensor you are going to love Gutierrez Solana (1886-1945). If you do not know him already, of course... great thread, by the way...

The head of James Ensor instead of the herrings' with a little note "ART ENSOR". I think it's a play of words with herring in French, ART EN sounds like hareng.
Written above 'Les cuisiniers dangereux' = 'The dangerous cooks'
And the critics of his art in the background. 🤣
