The Bayou Collection By George Rodrigue, Traveling Exhibition Organized by LSU Museum of Art\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

August 3, 2026 \u2013 January 13, 2027<\/strong><\/p>\n

The LSU Museum of Art is pleased to travel The Bayou Collection<\/em> by George Rodrigue<\/em>, a remarkable exhibition of paintings by Louisiana artist George Rodrigue (1944\u20132013), offering audiences an in-depth look at one of Rodrigue\u2019s most pivotal bodies of work.<\/p>\n

Created between 1981 and 1984, The Bayou Collection<\/em> features forty original paintings inspired by Cajun folklore and ghost stories, produced to accompany author Chris Segura\u2019s book Bayou<\/em> (Inkwell Press, 1984). The works capture Louisiana\u2019s mysterious swamps, haunting legends, and enduring cultural spirit through Rodrigue\u2019s vivid imagination and mastery of storytelling.<\/p>\n

Among these paintings is Watch Dog<\/em>, one of Rodrigue\u2019s most transformative works and the quiet beginning of what would become his world-famous Blue Dog <\/em>series. The composition\u2014originally illustrating the ghost story Slaughter House<\/em>\u2014features a spectral canine inspired by Rodrigue\u2019s late dog Tiffany and the loup-garou, the shape-shifting werewolf of Cajun legend.<\/p>\n

The Bayou Collection<\/em> was organized by the LSU Museum of Art, Baton Rouge; \u00a9George Godfrey Rodrigue, Jr. Family Trust.<\/p>\n
