Perhaps because he never expected his work to be accepted, he could pursue it to its furthest conclusions. But then - surprise - the honors started coming his way anyway. Museums began acquiring his art and offering him big shows. In 1929, Belgium's King Albert I even named him a baron, which makes you wonder if Albert had ever seen Ensor's etching of a king defecating on the heads of the people. By the time Ensor died...

I would prefer for things to run on schedule and for them to go smoothly and without real conflict. And when they don’t, I experience the perpetual urge to want to fix them.
