Caillebotte, Gustave - National Gallery of Art Washington

Gustave Caillebotte: The Painter's Eye

Fifty of the most important and beloved paintings of Paris and its environs by impressionist



will be the focus of the first major U.S. exhibition of the artist's work in 20 years (28.06.2015 - 04.10.2015). On view in the West Building of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, "Gustave Caillebotte: The Painter's Eye" will provide visitors with a better understanding of Caillebotte's artistic character and the complexity of his contribution to modernist painting.
"Caillebotte's paintings were inaccessible for almost a century, and they are still hard to come by in public institutions. For those interested in his work, there is no place to go to get a deep or broad sense of his achievement. We are thrilled to present this exhibition and accompanying publication to a new generation of art lovers and those hungry for another peek at his best works," said Earl A. Powell III, director, National Gallery of Art. (Text: National Gallery of Art Washington)
