Exhibited: The Art of George Rodrigue: A Retrospective, Longview Museum of Art, Longview, TX 2016

A prisoner in Port Arthur, Texas wrote a song based on the Cajun legend “Jolie Blonde” in the 1920s. It tells the story of a pretty blonde woman who left her Cajun lover for someone else.  Over the years, the song has developed into the Cajun Anthem.  Rodrigue painted Jolie Blonde more than one hundred times, beginning in 1974, and continuing for the rest of his life.  Over the years he used more than a dozen different models, placing the legendary figure first in bayou settings and later in more contemporary abstract environments.  In this canvas, Rodrigue has created a fabricated scene that relates the iconic Cajun beauty to the iconic English luxury automobile. In his typical style, all elements in the painting hold equal importance, including the oak tree, as well as the shape that it’s branches form with the sky.
