What to look for

Post-Impressionism: Impressionism records light as it is; Post-Impressionism keeps the colour but adds strong outlines, deliberate structure, symbolic colour or expressive brushwork.

Major Sir William Newenham Montague Orpen (27 November 1878 – 29 September 1931) was an Irish artist who mainly worked in London. Orpen was a fine draughtsman and a popular, commercially successful painter of portraits for the well-to-do in Edwardian society, though many of his most striking paintings are self-portraits.
