Gustave Caillebotte: Painting the Paris of Naturalism, 1872-1887

This is a really well thought out book which goes into a lot of detail about M. Caillebotte and his art.Well worth the read.

Very interesting man....a very generous man, who along with other artists such as Jean Bereau, created a body of artistic beauty to document the "Belle Epoch".....Bravo Caillebotte

Inflated and boring prose.Speculative analysis.Personal bias and feminist and Marxist.

Anyone interested in modern French art, and particularly the Impressionists, will want to have this large-format, beautifully-produced and scholarly book by a leading French art historian. But what was Caillebotte's relationship with the Impressionist group? And was he an Impressionist? These are some of the questions that Marrinan explores, through a detailed analysis of both Caillebotte's boulevard paintings and his carefully-composed interiors, as well as his turbulent relationship with Degas.

Wonderful service. Great book.
