About the Item

“Daisies for You” (2005), 14x18 unframed, offered framed. One of the few Blue Dog original silkscreens to feature both daises and the iconic oak and bayou scene, a staple of Rodrigue’s early work, this piece is an excellent example of the artist’s command of pop art and his use of his heritage, to create a striking image with beautiful color in the medium of the hand pulled silkscreen. The Blue Dog, juxtaposed against the green, yellow, and blues of the Bayou background with the iconic Rodrigue Oaks perfectly pair the artists early and late work. This piece is from the height of the artist’s mastery of hand pulled original serigraphy. A SOLD OUT, incredibly sought after and RARE Silkscreen by George Rodrigue, hand signed in paint pen by the artist, from the original edition of only 120. Signed “Rodrigue” and numbered 68/125. Size: unframed 14x18, offered framed, printed on high quality paper, framed with a conservation matting and wood frame that highlights the colors of the piece. The colors in this piece are so vivid that photos truly do not do this piece justice. An incredibly rare piece that rarely comes to market, this stunning silkscreen, utilizing among the highest standards of printmaking, is one of the most beloved and fastest selling Blue Dog prints ever produced by George Rodrigue, with the original paint pen signature by the hand of the artist at the bottom right “Rodrigue,” and numbered in paint pen “68/120” This piece beautifully represents Rodrigue’s incredible talent as an artist, fully embracing the pop art movement’s bold color with a stunning background and hand pulled elements of color. About the Blue Dog: ”The Blue Dog appeared in my life as a happy accident. For 25 years I paired the Cajun culture with hopes of capturing parts of Louisiana that seemed to be disappearing. One of the stories my mother told me as a child was that if I was not good today, the Loup-Garou would come get me tonight. This mad, wolflike creature that resembled a dog was a Cajun fable brought over from France by the early settlers of Acadiana. In 1984 I painted the first version of this story in oil paint until the public began calling it “the blue dog” during an exhibition of my work in Los Angeles in 1988. As a Blue Dog the image became very different- bluer, more stylized, and contained with more colorful and varied surroundings. In 1990 I abandoned the Cajun works and started painting Blue Dogs full time. Almost from the beginning I recognized the image’s conduciveness to silkscreen design. ABOUT GEORGE RODRIGUE (1944-2013) Born and raised in Cajun Country, Louisiana, U.S.A., artist George Rodrigue portrayed on his canvas what he feared was his dying heritage—-including its land, people, traditions, and mythology. As he often explained, he sought to “graphically interpret the Cajun culture,” preserving it in the face of a progressive world. Rodrigue’s art studies at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles spawned one of the greatest success stories in American art. In the early 1990s his Blue Dog Series, based on the French-Cajun loup-garou legend, catapulted him to worldwide fame, while his dark Renaissance-like landscapes developed into robust modern masterpieces. As a passionate philanthropist, Rodrigue founded the George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts, advocating the importance of the arts in education. Programs include art supplies for schools, scholarships, and arts integration through Louisiana A+ Schools. All reasonable offers considered, I hope this beautiful piece of Blue Dog and Louisiana art history finds its way into your home! Perfect for the fine art connoisseur in your life!
