""Accompanying a major international loan exhibition, Gustave Caillebotte: Painting Men offers a fascinating array of essays that explore complex questions of masculinity and virility in the art of this still enigmatic painter. The book features the wisdom of many seasoned scholars of Impressionism, but it is also noteworthy for the contributions of a new generation of authors, whose fresh eyes and new voices help bring the artist's world vividly to life."" --George T. M. Shackelford, Deputy Director, Kimbell Art Museum

""Gustave Caillebotte remains the most mysterious core member of the Impressionist movement. This catalogue includes the latest scholarship on the artist by contemporary experts in the field--museum and academic art historians based in France and the United States--bringing fresh readings to Caillebotte's known work as well as investigations of several paintings only recently arrived in the public sphere. It is spectacularly illustrated with the best of the artist's oeuvre, definitively establishing the striking singularity of Caillebotte's artistic achievement."" --Mary Morton, Curator of French Paintings, National Gallery of Art ""The essays inside this beautifully illustrated catalogue offer groundbreaking insights into a dominant, if largely ignored, theme in Caillebotte's work. A major contribution to the existing scholarship on the artist, this book will be a standard reference for years to come."" --Marnin Young, author of Realism in the Age of Impressionism: Painting and the Politics of Time ""Accompanying a major international loan exhibition, Gustave Caillebotte: Painting Men offers a fascinating array of essays that explore complex questions of masculinity and virility in the art of this still enigmatic painter.
