Exploring Gustave Caillebotte’s unique Impressionism

As an independently wealthy artist, Gustave Caillebotte had no need to cater to commercial tastes—freeing him to explore his own vision. The Art Institute’s exhibit Gustave Caillebotte: Painting His World reveals how he fused Impressionist techniques with strikingly original subject matter: intimate nudes, dynamic scenes of men at work, and unflinching depictions of laborers rarely seen in the movement.

Gustave Caillebotte: Painting His World runs until October 5th, 2025
