    What the Blue Dog symbolizes is open to interpretation. When asked about his works featuring the iconic canine, George Rodrigue said, “They are really about life, about mankind searching for answers. The dog never changes position. He just stares at you. And you're looking at him, looking for some answers, ‘Why are we here?’ And he's just looking back at you, wondering the same. The dog doesn't know. You can see this longing in his eyes, this longing for love and answers.” From this, it can be determined that the late artist used the dog to represent the search for knowledge and understanding, but those who view his paintings are free to find their own meanings in the image. Find a collection of George Rodrigue art on 1stDibs.
