Gustave Caillebotte

Gustave Caillebotte is unique among the Impressionists, the group of artists who revolutionised painting towards the end of the 19th century. In bold, often surprising compositions. he painted modern life, and his home city of Paris. He was also a skilled yachtsman, and an engineer who designed and built his own boats, a passionate gardener, and an astute collector. Drawing on family archives and illustrated with photographs that have never been published before, this book immerses us in the life and work of a truly exceptional artist.
