The Life and Art of George Rodrigue
George Rodrigue was an American artist born in New Iberia, Louisiana. His early work focused on Louisiana landscapes, outdoor family gatherings, and genre scenes from southwest Louisiana during the 19th and early 20th centuries. These paintings often featured moss-clad oak trees common to the French Louisiana area known as Acadiana. He studied art at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.
In the mid-1990s, Rodrigue achieved worldwide fame through his Blue Dog series. This series features a blue-hued dog with a white nose and yellow eyes, inspired by the shape and stance of his deceased dog, Tiffany, and the loup-garou legend. His work has been featured in national ad campaigns for Absolut Vodka and Xerox Corporation.
