Chicago Sculpture International is delighted to join the Art Institute of Chicago to celebrate its summer exhibition, Gustave Caillebotte: Painting His World, as a participant in the much anticipated window display contest, Project Windows. The contest was launched in 2012, in partnership with Stanley Smith of Oak Street Design, as a way for retailers to leverage the Art Institute’s world-class exhibitions that attract visitors from all over the globe. Over the years it has developed into a city-wide celebration of art and creativity, inspiring participants to craft beautiful, inspired, traffic-stopping displays and tap into our city’s cultural energy.

For Impressions: Works from Chicago Sculpture International, our organization was inspired to create a display featuring an array of “impressions” of the urban landscape and environment. For example, textures, machinery, architecture, historical influences or comparisons, or environment could be referenced.

Gustave Caillebotte: Painting His World includes more than 120 works—paintings, works on paper, photographs, and other ephemera from throughout Caillebotte’s career. In addition to recognizable works like Floor Scrapers and the Art Institute’s Paris Street; Rainy Day, the show presents lesser-known but pivotal works like the Musée d’Orsay’s recent acquisition, Boating Party, and the Louvre Abu-Dhabi’s The Bezique Game, as well as many works from private collections that are rarely seen by American audiences. Together, these works open a new window onto Caillebotte—as a complex figure with many interests, as an Impressionist who painted like no other Impressionist, and as an artist who captured his own, very distinct Paris.
