Descrizione: Grande mostra dedicata al lavoro dell’Impressionista francese Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894). Erano piu’ di trent’anni che il lavoro di Caillebotte non veniva presentato a NY. La mostra presenta paesaggi cittadini e scene di vita all’aria aperta sulle coste della Normandia e nei villaggi rurali di Yerres e Petit Gennevilliers, dove l’artista e la sua famiglia possedeva terreni. Focus soprattutto sui dipinti in cui l’acqua gioca un ruolo centrale.

Description: The first major showing of the work of the French Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894) to be presented in New York in more than thirty years features the artist’s well-known Parisian cityscapes alongside his painted scenes of outdoor life on the coast of Normandy and in the rural villages of Yerres and Petit Gennevilliers, where he and his family maintained estates. The exhibition will explore for the first time how these paintings express Caillebotte’s passion for subjects in which water plays a central role.
