THE ART OF GEORGE RODRIGUE
INTRODUCTION BY GINGER DANTO
PREFACE BY MICHAEL LEWIS
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. In addition to his best known Cajun and Blue Dog paintings, it covers all the distinct phases of his work, beginning with his college Pop and Abstract canvases, followed by oak trees and Cajun folklife, and ending with his increasingly conceptual Blue Dog works and recent Hurricane paintings.

Hardcover: 256 pages Publisher: Harry N Abrams; (November 2003) ISBN: 0810946270

WHY IS BLUE DOG BLUE?

George Rodrigue combines preposterous puns with all-new whimsical Blue Dog artwork to go where other color guides are too yellow-bellied to tread. Readers of all ages will giggle and sigh as Blue Dog changes her color from Red or Green to Auburn or Chartreuse in this award-winning book.

But more importantly, this book is a fun-filled demonstration of how artists use color to enrich their art.

BLUE DOG LOVE
Love springs forth from the most curious places, and for George and Wendy Rodrigue, love came, quite literally, from out of the blue. From the words and images in this colorful collection of all new blue dog paintings emerges a love story for the ages: of how a painter found his muse, and of how one woman found her way into the heart and soul of the Blue Dog Man.

A BLUE DOG CHRISTMAS
In A Blue Dog Christmas, George Rodrigue takes readers back in time, to New Iberia, Louisiana, in the 1950s. On a quiet street in this sleepy bayou town, the twelve-year-old George Rodrigue found his calling, and discovered that the true meaning of Christmas is not to give, but to create. This enlightening Christmas tale combines the appeal of almost twenty new Blue Dog images with an invigorating design that even includes an irresistible Blue Dog tree ornament.
