About the Artist
Gustave Caillebotte was one of the most brilliant French impressionist painters of all time.
Caillebotte' s paintings focus on modern Parisian life and scenes of cordial suburban sociability. His work is distinct in its spontaneity and bright, vivid palette. He probes the complex relationship among men and women and focuses on capturing the overall impression of a scene through effects created by using light and color in diverse ways. Caillebotte executed his masterpieces with bold strokes and heavy applications of rich color. Early Impressionist painters were revolutionaries in their time, breaking many of the unwritten laws of picture making that had been set by past generations.
Over time Caillebotte lost interest in painting and retired to his Oceanside villa to devote himself to breeding exotic orchids and boat building.
