The Blues Can Hide a Bad Apple<\/em>, designed in 1992 by George Rodrigue, is a newly released print in 2025. This Estate Edition of 175 measures 12 x 24 inches and is available for purchase from Rodrigue Studios<\/a> or online<\/a>.\"George<\/a>In 1992, George Rodrigue painted\u00a0The Blues Can Hide a Bad Apple<\/em>, a work that features three blue dogs and one red dog. Rodrigue began painting red dogs in 1990 to depict the blue dog\u2019s alter ego or sly side. As the painting\u2019s title suggests, here, the red dog represents the blue dog\u2019s bad side. With a yellow background, the painting is made up mostly of primary colors. The blue dogs on either end of The Blues Can Hide a Bad Apple are only partially visible. Rodrigue shows half of their faces, giving the viewer the sense that this line of dogs extends beyond what\u2019s shown on the canvas.<\/p>\n

\"George<\/a><\/p>\n

Shortly after creating the painting, Rodrigue turned the work into a lithograph print. Using a four-color process, he typically used for his Cajun posters, Rodrigue produced an edition of prints of\u00a0The Blues Can Hide a Bad Apple<\/em> in the early 1990s. However, as Rodrigue deepened his understanding of printmaking, he began making silkscreen prints, requiring skilled print-makers to create different screens to produce each color in a print. As printmaking technology advanced throughout the late 1990s and 2000s, Rodrigue\u2019s prints could use a multi-color process, reflecting a level of detail and complexity once reserved only for his paintings.<\/p>\n

This release of\u00a0The Blues Can Hide a Bad Appl<\/em>e uses Rodrigue’s preferred silkscreen process, resulting in a high-quality print featuring saturated colors rendered in a way that calls to mind the brushstrokes of an original painting. Done in an edition of 175, this 12 color silkscreen print of\u00a0The Blues Can Hide a Bad Apple\u00a0<\/em>features Rodrigue\u2019s estate stamp.<\/p>\n
