Often referred to as the “unknown Impressionist,” Gustave Caillebotte’s art is much more than meets the eye. His seemingly straightforward and narrative paintings are much more nuanced when seen in the context of the various aspects of his life that comprised his perception of manhood in the French Third Republic. Dr. Gloria Groom, Chair of Painting and Sculpture and the David and Mary Winton Green Curator at The Art Institute of Chicago, will be discussing the Institute’s 2025 exhibit in collaboration with the Getty that will explore the artist’s most iconic images through the lens of fraternité or brotherhood in English.
