The Austrian painter, fresco painter and graphic artist Arthur Brusenbauch is commonly attributed to Late Impressionism. He studied under Johann Kautsky and subsequently worked as a stage decoration painter. Brusenbauch studied in Vienna at the Staatsgewerbeschule and the Akademie der bildenden Kuenste, interrupted by war service and imprisonment. In 1920 he became a member of the Vienna Secession, and in 1939 he moved to the Kuenstlerhaus. In 1928 he had represented Austria in the art competitions of the 1928 Olympic Games. From 1937 to 1941 he participated in all the Great German Art Exhibitions in Munich with seven oil paintings. Late Impressionism or Post-Impressionism generally includes Pointillism (also known as Divisionism or Neo-Impressionism), Cloisonism, Synthetism, the Nabis group of artists, the Pont-Aven school, and the works of van Gogh, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Cézanne. The term Post-Impressionism goes back to the English painter and art critic Roger Frey, who had used it in 1910 on the occasion of the exhibition "Manet and the Post-Impressionists" organized by him in the Grafton Galleries, London. Paintings by Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh, among others, were shown there.
