What to look for

Realism: Academic art paints the same skill on idealised subjects; Impressionism keeps the modern subjects but breaks the paint into light, quick strokes.

Camille Rosalie Claudel (8 December 1864 – 19 October 1943) was a French sculptor known for her figurative works in bronze and marble. She died in relative obscurity. Later in the 20th century, she gained renewed attention and recognition for the originality and quality of her work. Wikipedia
