Impressionist artist Gustave Caillebotte, known for his monumental painting Paris Street; Rainy Day, will be discussed by art historian Jeff Mishur.
From June 29 through October 5, the Art Insitute of Chicago will showcase Caillebotte's art in a major exhibition that explores the very personal interests and relationships that shaped his world. REGISTER
Artist Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894) was one of the founding French Impressionists. His artwork captured the spirit of modern life. His personal investment in French Impressionism helped it to persevere through difficult years of critical scorn and weak sales. His gift to the French nation of a remarkable art collection helped achieve an enduring legacy for the work of his fellow modernists. This lecture presents a number of important Caillebotte works and their art historical context. Art historian Jeff Mishur presents this program. Jeff is co-owner of Art Excursions, Inc., a company that provides art-related lectures and tours in the United States and private guiding in Chicago. Jeff Mishur has taught art history at the university level for more than twenty years.
