A complete monograph on Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894), richly illustrated with nearly 200 reproductions. Isn't he the painter of modern life, as Baudelaire dreamed in 1846? Wasn't it Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894) who, thirty years later, fulfilled this expectation? This book was born of this question and of what it implies in the current rereading of our modernity.
