	Charles Conder: Retrospective
		Charles Conder’s life was clouded by emotional instability; he lacked self-discipline and showed disdain for a useful life, and he abused his health to the severest extent with alcohol and in the pursuit of endless women.
		Conder was a quick student; with paintings such as 'Departure of the Orient - Circular Quay' (1888) it is hard to believe that Conder was only 20 years of age and had been drawing and painting for a mere two to three years.
		Remarkably, Charles Conder survived until 9 April 1909 due to Stella Maris’s unfailing love and devotion; indeed, her entire fortune was spent on keeping him comfortable and alive for as long as possible.

	A dandy in bohemia - smh.com.au
		Charles Conder was born in 1868 in Tottenham, north London, his father a civil engineer and his mother a farmer's daughter.
		Conder was 33 when he met the vivacious Stella Maris Belford in London, and immediately announced: "I'm going to marry that woman." Stella was similarly smitten, and within months they wed, and remained devoted to each other.
		Charles Conder: A Retrospective is at the Art Gallery of NSW from June 14 to August 17.

	Charles Conder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles Edward Conder (24 October 1868 - 9 February 1909) was an English-born painter, who emigrated to Australia and was a key figure in the Heidelberg School, arguably the beginning of a distinctively Australian tradition in Western art.
		Short of cash, the attractive Conder apparently paid off his landlady by physical means, catching syphilis in the process, which was to plague the later years of his life.
		Conder was a fun loving man who painted with an often humorous touch.

		Conder's new status as a "national" artist was borne out by the impressive publicity that was made for this retrospective in Australia.
		Conder's trip to Paris in 1890 heralded a new phase in his career, which was explored in the next gallery.
		Conder's boudoir was shown side by side with a bedroom by Maurice Denis, a bathroom by Paul Ranson, and a smoking room, dining room, and study, by Henri van de Velde.

	Lust for life - smh.com.au
		Ironically, while Conder was painting his prettiest fans, across which the most delightful of his young ladies frolicked, the young Picasso was battling through his blue period, sketching and painting young prostitutes in Paris hospitals who had gone blind from syphilis.
		When Conder died in 1909 in a London asylum for the incurably insane, Picasso had already painted Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and was scaling the intellectual heights of analytical cubism with Georges Braque.

	A Nest of Conders
		Francis Roubiliac Conder was the author of The Men who Built Railways, published in 1868, testifying to the engineering interests of the family and to the artistic enrichment of the bloodline by descent from the celebrated French-born sculptor Louis François Roubiliac, 1705 - 1762.
		Bernini is cited as a strong influence and an Italianate sense of drama bordering on the grotesque caused him to design the tomb of Lady Elizabeth Nightingale, 1761, as a dramatic encounter in which Death as a skeleton threatens the woman with a spear while her husband, in vain, tries to shield her.
		The Conders would appear to have produced no composer from their ranks but a fragile silk painting by Charles was the inspiration of a late and little known ballet by Sir Edward Elgar.

	Artist's Footsteps
		Charles Edward Conder, or 'K' as he was known to his friends, was the third of five children of James Conder, railway engineer, and his first wife, Mary Ann, nee Ayres.
		After her death, Charles and his brother James were sent back to England, where Charles attended a boarding school in Eastbourne from 1877 to 1883.
		Conder was a major driving force behind the '9 by 5' exhibition and helped by illustrating the exhibition catalogue cover in an art nouveau style and decorating Buxton's Gallery with silks, in order to create an atmosphere of the cult of 'Japonais'.

		It was the humour and wit in Charles Conder's paintings that endeared him to Ann Galbally.
		Conder is something of a puzzle in art circles: no one's really sure where he belongs.
		She says that much of the Conder work that comes on to the market now is late material, "the leavings of the studio that he didn't exhibit or sell at the time because he was not happy with them".

		Conder was originally sent to Australia by his father in 1884 in order to try and discourage him from pursuing an artistic career.
		However, ignoring this, Conder studied art in NSW and Victoria before returning to Europe in 1890 to further his career.
		Regarded as a something of a prodigy by fellow members of the Heidelberg School (which he joined after moving to Melbourne in 1888), Conder cultivated the reputation of a bohemian and revelled in the cultural life of the fin-de-siecle in Paris and London.

	Charles Conder: Sydney
		Conder’s career as an artist began in New South Wales.
		In the autumn of 1888, Conder’s painting displayed a marked development under the more sophisticated painterly influence of Tom Roberts, who was visiting Sydney from Melbourne.
		Conder became convinced of the artistic value of being suggestive rather than literal in his approach.

	CHARLES CONDER RETROSPECTIVE
		Frederick McCubbin, Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and Charles Conder are considered to have laid the foundation of the great Heidelberg school of impressionism of the late nineteenth century in Australia.
		Conder is without doubt the most enigmatic, the most charming, the most bohemian, and the only one to go on to become a legendary figure of the international art world of Paris and London.
		Charles Conder helped change forever the way Australians saw their country, and he went on to summarise so evocatively a sense of the closing of the century in European culture.

	Charles Conder: Plein air painting
		He was introduced to Streeton, McCubbin and others, invited to paint at their ‘camps’ and became one of the instigators of The 9 by 5 Impression Exhibition of August 1889.
		As in Sydney, his practice was dominated by plein air painting, but Conder’s sense of fun was irrepressible and added a light-hearted and imaginative element to the rather more serious, nationalistic agenda of his ‘Heidelberg’ brothers.
		Moving between London, Dieppé and Paris in the late 1890s, Conder was always drawn to paint the coast.

		He taught Conder some of the principles of Impressionism, such as truth to the momentary effect of light and to colour values, and the rejection of the academic ideal of high finish.
		Conder lived in a room in Melbourne fitted out in the Aesthetic style and used his studio as a form of self-expression.
		In 1889 Conder joined Roberts, Streeton, Frederick McCubbin and others at the Buxton Galleries, Melbourne, in a show of small cedar panels, predominantly cigar-box lids, known as the ‘9 by 5 Impression Exhibition’ after the size of the panels.
