Immerse yourself in the heart of the work of Gustave Caillebotte, painter of modern life.
A painter of modern life , very close to the Impressionists of whom he was a generous patron, Gustave Caillebotte is a singular, multifaceted artist , a poet of Haussmann's Paris, a enthusiast of boats and horticulture, capable of painting everything. From holiday scenes in Yerres to swimming at the water's edge, from the Seine glimpsed through the metal structure of a bridge to the lush garden of Petit-Gennevilliers, Caillebotte has never ceased to draw inspiration from the subjects of his time , paving the way for a new painting, in a realistic style close to photography, thanks to a skilful use of perspective and immersive framing. A powerful and precise painting, resolutely oriented towards modernity.
The original form of this box allows you to immerse yourself in the heart of the painter's passions, to grasp the bold framing of his paintings : accompanied by an explanatory booklet including a general introduction and comments on the works, this "accordion" book , all in images, displays nearly sixty paintings whose close-ups magnify the pictorial power of the artist.
