구스타브 칼리보트(Gustave Caillebotte), 프랑스, 화가, 1848-1894
우산을 받쳐 들고 파리의 광장을 걷는 커플, 150년 전 그림이지만 무척 현대적인 패션입니다. 근대화 물결이 일던 당시, 파리는 새로운 도시로 변모하던 시절이었습니다.
그래서 '칼리보트' 그림은 도시적 풍경을 담은 작품들이 많습니다. “비 오는 파리 거리”의 무대가 된 ‘더블린 광장 (Place de Dublin)’은, 길바닥의 조약돌만 바뀌었을 뿐 150년 전이나 지금이나 거의 같은 모습이랍니다.
카누 경기 우승자답게 보트 타는 남성들도 많이 그렸습니다. ‘칼리보트’는 인상파 전시회를 여러 번 후원했고, 르누아르와 모네·마네 등 친구들의 그림을 사주거나 스튜디오 임대료를 지불해 주며 화가들에게 큰 힘이 되었습니다.
칼리보트는 자신이 수집한 인상주의 회화 컬렉션을 프랑스의 공공미술관에다 기증했답니다.
About Him
In his desire to produce true and new art, Caillebotte takes as his subject his immediate environment (Haussmann's Paris, the resorts around the capital), the men around him (his brothers, the workers working for his family, his racing friends, etc.) and ultimately his own existence. Responding to the “realistic” program, he brought new figures into painting such as the urban worker, the man on the balcony, the sportsman or even the naked man in the privacy of his toilet. At a time of the triumph of virility and republican fraternity, but also of the first crisis of traditional masculinity, the novelty and power of these images question both the social and sexual order. Beyond his own identity, that of a young and rich Parisian bachelor, Caillebotte brings to the heart of impressionism and modernity a profound questioning of the masculine condition.
This project is motivated by the recent acquisition of two major paintings by Caillebotte by the J. Paul Getty Museum ( Young Man at His Window ) and the Musée d'Orsay ( Party of a Boat ), and is based on the presence of the chef -work by the artist, Rue de Paris, temps de rain , on loan from the Art Institute of Chicago. The exhibition, made up of around 70 works, brings together Caillebotte's most important figure paintings but also pastels, drawings, photographs and documents.
This event is organized in the year of the 130th anniversary of the artist's death (1894), which also corresponds to the date of the bequest of his incredible collection of impressionist paintings to the State. To celebrate this event, all of the works from the legacy will be temporarily presented in one of the rooms of the museum's permanent tour, bringing to life the opening of the "Caillebotte room" at the Luxembourg Museum in 1897. This event is part of the continuity of the numerous exhibitions which, since the major retrospective of 1994-1995 (Paris, Chicago), have made it possible to rediscover the figure Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894) and to highlight certain facets of his work: the Yerres period, the links between his painting and photography, his passion for garden art, etc.
