\"\"The people seen in George Rodrigue\u2019s landscapes are his ancestors \u2014 Acadians forced to flee their home in Nova Scotia by the British in 1755, during what the Cajuns called\u00a0Le Grand D\u00e9rangement<\/em>. \u00a0\u00a0Settling along the Atchafalaya Basin near the Gulf of Mexico, they struggled to find comfort and make a home in this new land.\u00a0 These are the people Rodrigue chose to paint, Cajuns who lived before the modern era, seemingly \u2018pasted\u2019 into their environment, just as their ancestors were placed into unfamiliar surroundings.\u00a0 These people were hunters, fishermen, trappers and barbers.<\/p>\n

\"\"Rodrigue\u2019s imagination often took seemingly ordinary scenes and activities into the realm of the surreal.\u00a0 This painting, Broussard\u2019s Barbershop<\/em>\u00a0(1971), based on a photograph of unknown origin (left), depicted a typical barber shop from the 1940s\/50s, however, Rodrigue removed the figures from the interior setting, and placed them among the Louisiana live oaks.\u00a0 In his book,\u00a0The Cajuns of George Rodrigue<\/em>,\u00a0(Oxmoor House, 1976), Rodrigue described the scene:
\n
\nDesiring to be professional barbers, Broussard and his brothers bought red velvet barber chairs on sale for $5.00 apiece in New Orleans.\u00a0 Once purchased, these precious chairs had to be transported on barges and boats and brought across the swamp.\u00a0 It took six days to get them from New Orleans to Lafayette.\u00a0 But once the barbers got the red plush velvet chairs in place beneath the Spanish moss dripping from the spreading tree, they became professionals \u2014 at least on Saturday \u2014 the only day they were open.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"The early reproductions of Cajun paintings were posters often mass-produced for special events or festivals. In the 2000\u2019s, Rodrigue began to utilize a four-color process for his Cajun works, as it was still considered too complicated to reproduce the full spectrum of details in these rich oil paintings.\u00a0 However, improvements in computer programming now allow printmakers to more easily separate colors in images, and for the first time, this is a true 16-color silkscreen of a Rodrigue Cajun painting (right), capturing the comprehensive range of tones, including the plush red velvet chairs Rodrigue described.<\/p>\n
