Caillebotte Retrospective for L.A., Chicago, Paris

Gustave Caillebotte, The Floor Scrapers, 1875. Musée d'Orsay

The Getty Museum is co-organizing a major Gustave Caillebotte exhibition with the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, and the Art Institute of Chicago. Judging from the title and write-up, "Gustave Caillebotte: Painting Men" will address the bachelor artist's sexuality and "profound questions into the male condition at the heart of Impressionism and Modernism."

The show's 70-some works will include Chicago's panoramic Paris Street; Rainy Day and the Getty's Young Man at His Window (acquired in 2021). Exclusive to the Musée d'Orsay is a simultaneous installation of Caillebotte's bequest of works by fellow Impressionists. 

"Gustave Caillebotte: Painting Men" runs in Paris Oct. 8, 2024 to Jan. 19, 2025; at the Getty, Feb. 25 to May 25, 2025; in Chicago, June 22 to Oct. 5, 2025.

How come the Getty has not exhibited the Caillebotte much?

The Caillebotte was shown briefly as a late entry in "Getty Highlights: 19th-Century Paintings and Sculptures" (2021-22). Then it went into the conservation studio. It's been a long time, but you can never predict how long a conservation treatment will take.

Can’t believe it’s been 3 years since the Cailleboitte. That was the last great purchase that Getty has made. I remember the excitement all over social media.

I’m very jealous of D’Orsay’s Caillebotte prize that came soon after, or more so of the backing of LVMH.
