Gustave Caillebotte Summary

Gustave Caillebotte by Kirk Varnedoe

A stunning study of the life and work of Gustave Caillebotte, until recently the "forgotten man" of Impressionism but now recognised 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 colour 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 Reviews

"Much more than just a beautiful art book. Varnedoe's text is a thorough and thoroughly enjoyable study of this powerful and highly original artist." Vogue "A beautifully-produced book which examines the life and career of the unknown Impressionist...fascinating and entertaining reading." Marina Vaizey, The Sunday Times "With its excellent colour reproductions of all Caillebotte's most important works, accompanied by preliminary studies, fertile cross-comparisons with contemporary paintings and modern photographs and an outstanding commentary, Professor Varnedoe's book stands deservedly as the definitive critical guide." Alan Robinson, Times Higher Education Supplement "Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894), the 'forgotten man' of the impressionist movement, comes into brilliant focus in Kirk Varnedoe's handsome and deeply thought study." Therese Dolan, Nineteenth-Century French Studies
