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
