 About Gustave Caillebotte | Abbeville Press
The intriguing circumstances of Caillebotte's life as a wealthy young man in the midst of a contested avant-garde struggle, and certainly his comprehension of the complexities of Paris in his day, must lie behind and bear on all the pictures he made; but without his series of ambitious early achievements, we would hardly care.

 MyStudios- Gustave Caillebotte, Paris Street, Rainy Day
Caillebotte's ambitious modem history painting Paris Street; Rainy Day, much like his Floor-Scrapers, shown the previous year, secured the artist critical appreciation at the Impressionist exhibition in 1877 for its "science of design and arrangement.
It even prompted one critic to exclaim that "M. Caillebotte is an Impressionist in name only," because in comparison to many of his colleagues who were being derided for daring to exhibit sketches as finished works of art, this painting demonstrated that Caillebotte "knows how to draw and paint more seriously.
."The fact that Caillebotte followed an academic rather than "Impressionist" method in many of the large paintings of his early career is evidenced by a group of preparatory drawings and oil sketches for Paris Street, through which the artist developed and altered his original conception for the picture.

Gustave Caillebotte and the Fashioning of Identity in Impressionist Paris by Gustave Caillebotte
Though Caillebotte's plunging perspectives were not identical with Degas's characteristically skewed viewpoints and stacked-up spatial overlaps, the aims of the two artists were closely parallel in 1876.
While the author is forthright in his views of the "unevenness" of Caillebotte's oeuvre, he makes a strong case for viewing what Varnedoe refers to as Caillebotte's "internal personal dynamic" as a driving force behind the artist's shifting styles and artistic innovations.

 GUSTAVE CAILLEBOTTE - URBAN IMPRESSIONIST
Caillebotte came from a very wealthy family, was an early supporter of the Impressionists and collected many of their works.
(Caillebotte, who had no need to sell his works, also painted male nudes.) The work seems a heavy drudgery, they are on their knees, their hands stretching before them.
I think Caillebotte is expressing this ambivalence of modernity in an extraordinary way in the first of the two paintings mentioned: the citizens of Paris are depicted as isolated objects in an infinite space - as human equivalents to commodities in the market economy.
