His paintings are favorites of museum-goers, and recent restoration of his work has revealed more color, texture, and detail than was visible before while heightening interest in all of Caillebotte's artwork. This lush companion volume to the National Gallery of Art's major new exhibition, coorganized with the Kimbell Art Museum, explores the power and technical brilliance of his oeuvre. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book features fifty of Caillebotte's strongest paintings, including post-conservation images of \u003ci\u003eParis Street; Rainy Day, \u003c\/i\u003ealong with \u003ci\u003eThe Floorscrapers\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePont de l'Europe\u003c\/i\u003e, all of which date from a particularly fertile period between 1875 and 1882. The artist was criticized at the time for being too realistic and not impressionistic enough, but he was a pioneer in adopting the angled perspective of a modern camera to compose his scenes. Caillebotte's skill and originality are evident even in the book's reproductions, and the essays offer critical insights into his inspiration and subjects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This sumptuously illustrated publication makes clear why Caillebotte is among the most intriguing artists of nineteenth-century France, and it deepens our understanding of the history of impressionism.","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46290070274199,"sku":"9780226263557","price":6231.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780226263557.webp?v=1767700987","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/gustave-caillebotte-the-painters-eye-9780226263557","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
