The Belgian painter and watercolorist Alice Frey made a name for herself with paintings of figures in a naive, poetic and fairytale imagery. She was born in Antwerp in 1895 and settled in Ostend in 1914. There she befriended the expressionist James Ensor, who inspired her to paint and influenced her greatly. From 1917 to 1919 she took painting and drawing lessons at the Antwerp Academy. Her style then evolved from expressionist to symbolist impressionism, with mundane women, clowns, ballerinas, fairytale characters, angels and devils as a central motif, supplemented with flowers, masks and fans. In Antwerp she was one of the founders of the groups 'Lumière' and 'ça ira'.
