This retrospective book includes approximately 500 prints created by George Rodrigue between 1969 and 2007. It covers his development as a printmaker, the evolution of his subject matter and the distinct phases of his work: his Louisiana fair and festival posters, original silkscreen prints, commemorative and special edition prints, mixed media prints and re-mastered digital prints.The majority of images feature the incomparable "Blue Dog", whose mesmerizing expression and haunting eyes have captured the hearts of US presidents, Hollywood stars and ordinary people alike. Widely collected, Rodrigue's prints, like his paintings, capture the essence of his personal world, but also express his spiritual and cultural ideas as they pertain to Louisiana, America and the world.

Book Description Couverture rigide. Condition: Neuf. Dust Jacket Condition: Neuf. Edition originale. New York 2008. 1 volume/1. -- NEUF -- Reliure �diteur cartonn�e sous jaquette illustr�e. Format in-4�( 31,2 x 23,8 cm )( 1630 gr ). ------ 255 pages . ********** "" The blue dog stares out from the image, one ear up, paws out in front. Is it a menacing or pleading stare? Is this a dangerous pooch or a mournful one? However it's interpreted, the Blue Dog is a compelling image that has appealed to millions and has made its creator, George Rodrigue, an artistic icon. More fascinated with his Blue Dog than Warhol was with his soup cans, Rodrigue has used silk screening to replicate, in a variety of settings both real and imagined, his version of the Cajun loup-garou the mythological werewolf imported by the French. The dog dominates Rodrigue's career and his catalogue raisonn�, which purposely downplays Rodrigue's early folk paintings of bayou scenes. Neither the foreword by Bullard, director of the New Orleans Museum or Art, nor wife and curator Wendy Wolfe Rodrigue's introduction nor the artist's commentaries provide much insight into his dramatic shift of style. Rodrigue writes, Some are offended by what I've done and especially with the fact that I continue. But that is the creative process. So despite many beautiful illustrations, lavish production qualities and the charm of the Blue Dog, the book offers little insight into an artistic obsession. """ ************** r�f 234.
