Gustave Caillebotte : catalogue raisonné des peintures et pastels.
This new edition of Gustave Caillebotte’s catalogue raisonné brings together all of the 565 paintings and pastels known at the time of publication. Caillebotte (1848–1894) painted diverse subjects such as interior scenes and other snapshots of contemporary working-class life, landscapes, portraits, still lives, and views of Paris. An eclectic and private artist, a friend and patron of the Impressionists, Caillebotte was an important collector whose œuvre defies any strict categorization.
Ce premier catalogue de l’œuvre de Gustave CAILLEBOTTE (1848-1894) répertorie quatre cent soixante-dix-sept tableaux, classés chronologiquement. Une importante première partie replace le peintre dans son temps, traite de sa position auprès des impressionnistes, rappelle son goût pour la navigation à voile à laquelle sa fortune lui permettait de s’adonner. L’analyse de son art souligne la diversité d’inspiration de l’artiste. Des documents d’archives, une bibliographie critique, des index et des tables sont réunis en annexes.
This is a revised and expanded edition of Berhaut's earlier book, "Caillebotte, sa vie et son oeuvre: catalogue raisonné des peintures et pastels," published by the Fondation Wildenstein in 1978 (see entry in this database). The 1994 edition includes sixty newly attributed items, a bibliography and new information about works discussed in the original edition. Introductory material covers the art in context plus major themes that influenced the artist's work. It also contains a selection of the artist's letters, excerpts from other archival documents, and a list of exhibitions Caillebotte participated in during his lifetime.
