Synopsis
Born and raised in the heart of French Louisiana, artist George Rodrigue (b.1944) is best known for his Blue Dog paintings, which catapulted him to worldwide fame in the mid-1980s. Rodrigue, who began painting in the third grade while bedridden with polio, had already won local acclaim for his rich portrayals of the landscape and people he grew up with when Blue Dog transformed the image of the original Cajun werewolf dog the loup-garou into an international pop icon. This long-overdue retrospective features 265 paintings spanning Rodrigue's 40-year career. With a text by art historian and former ARTnews correspondent Ginger Danto, this is the first outside view and analysis of Rodrigue's paintings in book form. It covers all the distinct phases of his work, showing his development as an artist as his subjects shifted from majestic oak trees to Cajun fishermen and local politicians to the incomparable Blue Dog, whose mesmerizing expression and haunting eyes have captured the hearts of U.S. presidents, Hollywood stars, and ordinary people alike.

Paperback. Condition: New - Very Good. From the mid-1990s George Rodrigue's paintings often featured a distinctive blue dog, inspired by a 'Cajun werewolf' folk legend in his native Louisiana. This monograph reviews his artistic development from the landscapes, outdoor scenes, family gatherings and group portraits of the 1960s and 1970s to the bold line and bright colours of his later blue dog paintings of the early 2000s. Slightly off-mint. Seller Inventory # 528637
