highlighting the progression of George Rodrigue’s forty-year career. Blue Dogs and Cajuns on the River includes a series of Rodrigue’s most recognized Blue Dog paintings from the New Orleans Museum of Art. The LSU Museum of Art will also present signature works by Rodrigue from both local collectors and the artist’s personal collection, including his early oak trees, Louisiana governor portraits, and examples from the hurricane series. To round out the exhibition, Rodrigue’s portrait of Mike the Tiger will be shown alongside a recently completed painting of an LSU-clad Blue Dog and a new work entitled Blue Dogs and Cajuns on the River, created specifically for this exhibition.
trace his ancestry to the first Acadian settlers of southeast Louisiana, and for more than four decades, he has sought to depict his Cajun heritage through his work. Using the oak tree as his main subject in hundreds of paintings in the early 1970s, Rodrigue eventually expanded his subjects to include the Cajun people and traditions, as well as his interpretations of myths such as Jolie Blonde and Evangeline. One of these myths, the loup-garou, inspired Rodrigue’s most famous series, the Blue Dog. He first painted this Cajun werewolf dog in 1984 for a book of Cajun ghost stories, but soon discovered that the Blue Dog image could lead him out of Cajun country and around the world. Over the years, Rodrigue has received numerous honors and awards, and in October 2008, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal declared Rodrigue to be the state’s official artist laureate. On July 23 the LSU Museum of Art will open Blue Dogs and Cajuns on the River, an exhibition
