Olmsted helps organize Caillebotte exhibition

As a Mellon Fellow in the Curatorial Track Ph.D. program, graduate student Galina Olmsted helped organize Gustave Caillebotte: The Painter's Eye, on view at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, through October 4, 2015. This exhibition is the first major U.S. retrospective of the French painter's work in twenty years. Bringing together over fifty of Caillebotte's best paintings from 1875 through the mid-1880s, the show explores the depth of his commitment to original and modern modes of vision. Galina is a contributing author for the catalog accompanying the exhibition, jointly published by the National Gallery of Art and University of Chicago Press. After its close in Washington this fall, Gustave Caillebotte: The Painter's Eye will travel to the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, where it will be on view from November 8, 2015, through February 14, 2016.
