Caillebotte. Painting men
A collector, patron and friend of the Impressionists, for whom he organised numerous exhibitions, Gustave Caillebotte was also a great painter. Organised in the year of the 130th anniversary of his death (1894), which also coincides with the date on which his incredible collection was bequeathed to the French state, the exhibition at the musée d’Orsay highlights the artist’s interest in portraits of men and male figures. An exceptional presentation of 70 works, including Caillebotte’s most important figure paintings, as well as pastels, drawings, photographs and documents.

The 200 or so drawings and paintings, her two favourite media, brought together for the occasion retrace her life and career, from her beginnings as a model in Montmartre at the end of the 19th century to her acclaim by her peers in early 20th-century Paris.

Women have a lot to thank him for.

With the exhibition Paul Poiret, couturier, décorateur et parfumeur, the Musée des Arts décoratifs takes us into his creative world, exploring his boldness and artistic power through fashion, the decorative arts, perfumery, festivities and even gastronomy.
