Artist Biography
Charles Conder
(1868-1909), Australian
 After
arriving in Australia as an adolescent in 1884, Charles Conder became one
of the key founders of the Heidelberg school of Australian impressionism –
with Tom Roberts, Frederick McCubbin and Arthur Streeton. Six years later
he returned to Europe to become a legendary figure of the fin de
siècle, mixing with leading artists and writers of the day including
Toulouse-Lautrec, Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsley.
The exhibition begins with a number of portraits of Conder
by leading artists of the day who were also his friends. It follows his
early career in Australia from the landscapes made around Sydney and New
South Wales, to works he created in Melbourne. It then focuses on the
Moulin Rouge in Paris, the artist’s French and English plein air
landscapes, portraits and lithographs, and culminates with the peak of his
European achievement: dreamily ornamental paintings on silk.
These last works, including wall hangings, fans and
decorative interior pieces are a revelation of Conder’s exquisite skill
and imagination. They conclude the two short decades that formed the
career of one of Australia’s most fascinating and enigmatic artists.
