Witty and Macabre explores the ongoing influence of Symbolism, Flemish Expressionism, and Surrealism on contemporary art. Robert Zeller, author of New Surrealism, begins by providing a brief historical overview of the Symbolists, the Flemish Expressionists, and the Belgian variant of Surrealism, featuring work by James Ensor, René Magritte, Paul Delvaux, and many others.

Then the book offers an international array of 25 artists currently working in Belgium, including Luc Tuymans, Sanam Khatibi, Michaël Borremans, Aline Bouvy, Thomas Lerooy, and others.
  • Gathers 195 works of art to demonstrate the influence and impact of Belgian Symbolism, Flemish Expressionism, and Surrealism on contemporary art.
  • Features 25 contemporary artists spanning an intriguing range, from those starting their careers to those of international standing.
  • Covers often-overlooked historical figures of Belgian art, such as Jane Gaverol, a groundbreaking Belgian Surrealist; Gustave de Smet, one of the original Flemish Expressionists; and Paul Nougé, an important Surrealist theorist and, in a sense, the Belgian equivalent to André Breton, the leader of the Parisian Surrealist movement.​​
