Caillebotte : Peintre Des Extrêmes

Initially relegated to the margins of Impressionism, Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894) has been brilliantly revalued since the 1970s. A singular artist, a methodical poet of Haussmann's Paris, a great observer of the game of love, a yachting hero, a fan of flowers and gardens, capable of painting everything out of a horror of repetition, and an early collector of the Impressionists and organiser of their exhibitions from 1877 onwards, the artist played a crucial role.

This comprehensive monograph, the only one on the market today, offers a new approach to the life and work of Caillebotte.
