  • The exhibition dedicated to the painter Gustave Caillebotte by the Pierre-Gianadda Foundation, Switzerland, was finally held from June 18 to November 21 of this year, after a postponement due to the epidemic. On this occasion, we discovered, in the catalog of the event, a significant number of errors, both on the biography of the painter and on the context of his work. We have therefore taken the initiative to send this letter to the organizers, suggesting the publication of an erratum: Letter to the curator of the Exhibition. (in French)
