A fascinating look at the genesis and meaning of Van Gogh’s famed paintings of his bedroomVincent van Gogh’s The Bedroom, a painting of his room in Arles, is arguably the most famous depiction of a bedroom in the history of art. The artist made three versions of the work, now in the collections of the Van Gogh Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Musée d’Orsay. This book is the first in-depth study of their making and their meaning to the artist. In Van Gogh’s Bedrooms, an international team of art historians, scientists, and conservators investigates the psychological and emotional significance of the bedroom in Van Gogh’s oeuvre, surveying dwellings as a motif that appears throughout his work. Essays address the context in which the bedroom was first conceived, the uniqueness of the subject, and the similarities and differences among the three works both on and below the painted surface. The publication reproduces more than 50 paintings, drawings, and illustrated letters by the artist, along with other objects that evoke his peripatetic life and relentless quest for “home.”Distributed for the Art Institute of ChicagoExhibition Schedule:Art Institute of Chicago(02/14/16–05/10/16)

An unprecedented exploration of Gauguin’s works in various media, from works on paper to clay and furniturePaul Gauguin (1848–1903) was a creative force above and beyond his legendary work as a painter. Surveying the full scope of his career-spanning experiments in different media and formats—clay, works on paper, wood, and paint, as well as furniture and decorative friezes—this volume delves into his enduring interest in craft and applied arts, reflecting on their significance to his creative process. Gauguin: Artist as Alchemist draws on extensive new research into the artist’s working methods, presenting him as a consummate craftsman—one whose transmutations of the ordinary yielded new and remarkable forms. Beautifully designed and illustrated, this book includes essays by an international team of scholars who offer a rich analysis of Gauguin’s oeuvre beyond painting. By embracing other art forms, which offered fewer dominant models to guide his work, Gauguin freed himself from the burden of artistic precedent. In turn, these groundbreaking creative forays, especially in ceramics, gave new direction to his paintings. The authors’ insightful emphasis on craftsmanship deepens our understanding of Gauguin’s considerable achievements as a painter, draftsman, sculptor, ceramist, and printmaker within the history of modern art.

The name Manet often evokes the provocative, heroically scaled pictures he painted in the 1860s for the Salon, but in the late 1870s and early 1880s the artist produced quite a different body of work: stylish portraits of actresses and demimondaines, luscious still lifes, delicate pastels, intimate watercolours and impressionistic scenes of suburban gardens and Parisian cafe s. Often dismissed as too pretty and superficial by critics, these later works reflect Manet's elegant social world, propose a radical new alignment of modern art with fashionable femininity, and record the artist's unapologetic embrace of beauty and visual pleasure in the face of death.Featuring nearly three hundred illustrations and nine fascinating essays by established and emerging Manet specialists, a technical analysis of the late Salon painting Jeanne (Spring), a selection of the artist's correspondence, a chronology, and more, 'Manet and Modern Beauty' brings a diverse range of approaches to bear on a little-studied area of this major artist's oeuvre.

More than any other French Impressionist, painter Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894) observed and depicted the many men in his life, including his brothers and friends, employees, and the workers and bourgeois in his Parisian neighborhood. Male subjects feature prominently in some of his best-known works, such as The Floor Scrapers, Man at His Bath, Young Man at His Window, Boating Party, and Paris Street, Rainy Day. The originality of his paintings of men are fully explored for the first time in this catalogue, published to accompany a major international exhibition co-organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum, Musee d'Orsay, and Art Institute of Chicago.Alongside paintings, drawings, and photographs, as well as an appendix featuring maps and new biographical research that sheds light on Caillebotte's social network, this volume includes historically grounded thematic essays by curators and leading scholars. By exploring the complex and varied facets of Caillebotte's identity-as son, brother, soldier, bachelor, amateur, sportsman, and so on-these essays pose questions of identity, leaving space for ambiguous and fluid expressions of gender and masculinity-for both Caillebotte and the larger late nineteenth-century French world.Musee d'OrsayOctober 8, 2024-January 19, 2025J. Paul Getty MuseumGetty CenterMarch 25-May 25, 2025Art Institute of ChicagoTBD, 2025Accompanying a major international loan exhibition, GustaveCaillebotte: Painting Men offers a fascinating array of essays that explorecomplex questions of masculinity and virility in the art of this stillenigmatic painter. The book features the wisdom of many seasoned scholars ofImpressionism, but it is also noteworthy for the contributions of a newgeneration of authors, whose fresh eyes and new voices help bring the artist'sworld vividly to life. - George T.M. Shackelford, Deputy Director, Kimbell ArtMuseum "The essays inside this beautifully illustrated catalogueoffer groundbreaking insights into a dominant, if largely ignored, theme inCaillebotte's work. A major contribution to the existing scholarship onthe artist, this book will be a standard reference for years to come."-MarninYoung, author of Realism in the Age of Impressionism: Painting and thePolitics of TimeGustave Caillebotte remains the most mysterious core member of theImpressionist movement. This catalogue includes the latest scholarship on theartist by contemporary experts in the field—museum and academic art historiansbased in France and the United States—bringing fresh readings to Caillebotte’sknown work as well as investigations of several paintings only recently arrivedin the public sphere. It is spectacularly illustrated with the best of theartist’s oeuvre, definitively establishing the striking singularity ofCaillebotte’s artistic achievement. —Mary Morton, Curator of French Paintings,National Gallery of Art

‘I will astonish Paris with an apple!’, Cezanne once claimed. Leaving his native Aix-en-Provence for the French capital in his twenties, this is precisely what he did. Cezanne’s still lifes, landscapes and paintings of bathers were to give licence to generations of artists to break the rule book. The history of painting was never to be the same again.Evoking the sensory richness and ambitions of the beloved French painter’s work, this book presents a multifaceted exploration of Cezanne’s art, career and legacy, through the varied perspectives of art historians, conservation scientists and a host of renowned contemporary artists. Rather than reading Cezanne in hindsight, it seeks to understand the artist in his own context: as an ambitious young painter from the provinces eager to make it in metropolitan Paris. Torn between seeking official recognition and joining rebellious impressionism before relentlessly pursuing his own unique language, Cezanne strived to be modern while remaining deeply sceptical about the world he lived in.Showcasing a selection of iconic works and highlighting the artist’s key themes, this publication is a celebration of Cezanne and his pivotal role in the development of modern art.Includes contributions from Etel Adnan, Phyllida Barlow, Paul Chan, Julia Fish, Ellen Gallagher, Lubaina Himid, Kerry James Marshall, Rodney McMillian, Laura Owens, and Luc Tuymans.
