Summary
"Roughly fifty paintings and drawings provide a comprehensive look at Caillebotte the painter. His work as a boat-builder is also documented in historical photographs, design drawings, models for yachts, and an informative essay. Caillebotte's paintings are divided into eight thematic groups and described in brief sketches. Here as well, his subjects are examined in relation to those of Claude Monet and Guy de Maupassant, who also dealt with the theme of life on the water in their works. A richly illustrated biography rounds out the picture of this long-neglected painter."--BOOK JACKET.
