Masquerade, Make-Up & Ensor

By Elisa De Wyngaert, Kaat Debo, Romy Cockx

An ode to the painters of fashion: the craftsmanship and inexhaustible creativity of make-up and hair artists in a book where light, colour, art, fashion and make-up meet.

Masquerade, Make-up & Ensor transposes Ensor's ideas around the masquerade, (false) coquetry, seduction, deception, the artificial and the ephemeral to today. MoMu (Fashion Museum Antwerp) celebrates the painters of fashion: the craftsmanship and inexhaustible creativity of make-up and hair artists in a book where light, color, art, fashion and make-up meet. Make-up and beauty have today become a trillion-dollar industry that confronts man with his physical mortality, imagined imperfections and existential fears. But make-up, like paint, is also a form of personal expression, artistic experimentation, joy and freedom. Masquerade, Make-up & Ensor explores how closely make-up is intertwined with many aspects of our humanity.
