Gustave Caillebotte

Kirk Varnedoe

A stunning study of the life and work of Gustave Caillebotte-until recently the "forgotten man" of Impressionism but now recognized as one of the most interesting and attractive artists in the group and as the painter of some of its most powerful and memorable images. The book includes beautiful color reproductions of all Caillebotte's most important works, his working drawings, and a selection of critical responses to his art when first shown.
Gustave Caillebotte and the Fashioning of Identity in Impressionist Paris

Once neglected, Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894), a painter associated with the French Impressionists, has become the subject of intense public interest and renewed scholarly debate. With a series of exhibitions showcasing his work, Caillebotte's enigmatic paintings have begun to exert an unexpected fascination for postmodern audiences and have become rich sites for interpretive debate. The essays which comprise this volume exempify this Caillebotte scholarship. They employ a variety of perspectives to examine the ways in which his art sheds light on the formation of individual class identities in Paris during the early years of the Third Republic - an era of transition marked by the burgeoning of capitalism and the instabilities of newly shifting gender roles in the modern world. Addressing a wide range of major paintings by Caillebotte, the contributors reveal the compound ways in which the artist encoded his images and the multiple interpretations to which these images are susceptible. Juxtaposed so as to complement and challenge on another, the essays are intended to build a provocative whole as they probe issues of spectatorship and authorial intention. The contributors - internationally known scholars and art professionals, including Michael Fried, Tamar Garb and Kirk Varnedoe - create an important theoretical framework for the discussion of Caillebotte's work.
Gustave Caillebotte: Urban Impressionist

Caillebotte's vivid representations of Parisian life bridged the gap between Realism and Impressionism during the 1870s and early 1880s. His Paris Street: Rainy Day and Floorscrapers--each the subject of a fascinating, extensively illustrated analysis in this book--have become icons of the Impressionists' devotion to scenes of modern urban life.
Prepared by an international team of scholars to accompany the major 1994-95 retrospective organized by the Réunion des Musées Nationaux/Musée d'Orsay, Paris, and The Art Institute of Chicago, Gustave Caillebotte: Urban Impressionist reproduces 89 of his paintings and 28 of his drawings and studies, many of them from little-known private collections. Thoughtful essays examine both his work and his crucial role as an early patron and promoter of Impressionism. A chronology, list of exhibitions, and selected bibliography provide additional invaluable information.

Jean-Jacques Leveque

On the 21st of February 1894, Gustave Caillebotte died at age 46. He had built a solid and imposing body of work within a relatively short period - nineteen years.
His work has long been neglected and his life as a painter often obscured by the part which he played in the development of Impressionism as an art collector.
Between Monet's ardent, free style, and the Naturalism of Degas with whom he shared an appetite for modernity, he appears as a singularly original artist. His work focuses on modern themes. Where Impressionism was torn between a respect for the pictorial tradition and the urge to rid itself of the limitations of this same tradition, Gustave Caillebotte succeeded in accomplishing an innovative and coherent body of work.
