Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894), the son of a wealthy businessman,
is perhaps best known as the painter who organised and funded
several of the groundbreaking exhibitions of the Impressionist
painters, collected their works, and ensured the Impressionists'
presence in the French national museums by bequeathing his own
personal collection. Trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and
sharing artistic sympathies with his renegade friends, Caillebotte
painted a series of extraordinary pictures inspired by the look and
feel of modern Paris that also grappled with his own place in the
Parisian art scene. Michael Marrinan's ambitious study draws upon
new documents and establishes compelling connections between
Caillebotte's painting and literature, commerce, and technology. It
offers new ways of thinking about Paris and its changing
development in the nineteenth century, exploring the cultural
context of Parisian bachelor life and revealing layers of meaning
in upscale privilege ranging from haute cuisine to sport and
relaxation. Marrinan has written what is sure to be a central text
for the study of nineteenth-century art and culture.
