George Rodrigue began painting people in 1971. Up until then, he\u2019d created landscape scenes that depicted not only the appearance but also the feel of Louisiana. But in the early 70s, Rodrigue began incorporating people into these landscape scenes. He painted both real and imagined scenes that captured the everyday rhythms and special traditions of Cajun life and culture. In\u00a0Sunday Morning<\/em>, three figures appear before one of Rodrigue\u2019s signature oak trees. Given the work\u2019s title and the clothes worn by the two girls and boy in the painting, you can imagine they might be on their way to or heading home from church.<\/p>\n

Rodrigue paints the figures to emphasize the two-dimensional nature of paintings, placing them flat against the landscape, framed by the oak tree’s limb as if they were pasted into the scene. Rodrigue added texture by painting the oak tree, ground, and sky in thick layers of oil paint, giving the landscape a verdant appearance. Sunday Morning<\/em> presents a great opportunity for a Rodrigue collector to own a work emblematic of his early artistic style.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
