Gustave Caillebotte: Painting the Paris of Naturalism, 1872-1887 Details
Review “This in-depth study of the life and career of the French painter and patron presents new research documents to create a revealing portrait of Caillebotte and the Parisian art scene in the late 19th century.” –Apollo “Michael Marrinan’s study of Gustave Caillebotte offers valuable new material and presents revisionist interpretations of his paintings that deserve to reinvigorate scholarly debates that have, over the last decade, started to approach a consensus. . . . Marrinan’s monograph is essential reading for scholars of Caillebotte and Impressionism.” (Burlington Magazine)“In the growing literature on Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894), Michael Marrinan’s monograph stands tall. Rooted in groundbreaking research and sustained visual analysis, it offers the most detailed panorama yet of the artist’s career.” (H-France)“Gestated over many years, and beautifully produced, [this book] lavishes attention on Impressionist painter Gustave Caillebotte. . . . Picture by picture, quartier by quartier, Michael Marrinan follows Caillebotte's traces and guides the reader through his fifteen most productive years.” (Nineteenth Century French Studies) Read more About the Author Michael Marrinan is professor emeritus at Stanford University. He is the coauthor of The Culture of Diagram (2010) and the author of Romantic Paris (2009) and Painting Politics for Louis-Philippe (1988). Read more
