Gustave Caillebotte Details
From Library Journal This 1987 volume by Varnedoe, the curator of New York's Museum of Modern Art, offered one of the first collections of Impressionism's Caillebotte, who until recently remained an obscure figure, being overshadowed by Monet, Van Gogh, and the usual suspects. The text includes 200 monochrome and 72 color illustrations. A beauty for the price. Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc. Read more
Reviews
I selected this volume because of good reviews. I am pleased with the content, and have wanted material on Caillebotte for some time.The reproductions could be more richly colored, but that may be due to the fact that after having seen the 2015 exhibit in DC last year,I may have become spoiled. His work and subjects are so accessible; his palette draws the viewer into the scenes; and he is a greatlater-in-life artist amidst other well known names. Thanks to Dr. Varnedoe for his commentary, to the artist for his work, and to Amazon forassisting me in locating a copy of this book!
