No. 701: Caillebotte’s Men, Native Pop!

Episode No. 701 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features curator Scott Allan, and curators Will Hansen and River Ian Kerstetter.

With Gloria Groom and Paul Perrin, Allan is the co-curator of “Gustave Caillebotte: Painting Men” at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. The exhibition, which is on view through May 25, looks at how Caillebotte’s interest in male subjects significantly distinguishes him from his impressionist colleagues. A fine exhibition catalogue was published by the Getty. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $50-58.

Hansen and Kerstetter are the curators of “Native Pop!” at the Newberry Library, Chicago. “Native Pop” examines how Indigenous people, and art by and of them, are central to the story of our popular culture. The exhibition is on view through July 19.
