What to look for

Impressionism: Realism, just before, paints on dark grounds with solid forms; Post-Impressionism, just after, keeps the bright colour but adds firm outlines, built structure or symbolic colour.

Charles Edward Conder (24 October 1868 – 9 February 1909) was an English-born painter, lithographer and designer. He emigrated to Australia and was a key figure in the Heidelberg School, arguably the beginning of a distinctively Australian tradition in Western art. Wikipedia
