Blue Dogs and Cajuns on the River

This is the last week for Blue Dogs and Cajuns on the River at LSU Museum of Art.  Last day is September 18th.

Blue Dogs and Cajuns on the River features over eighty original paintings and sculptures that illustrate the progression of George Rodrigue's forty-year career and reveal the origins of his iconic Blue Dog. The exhibition includes a series of Rodrigue's famous Blue Dog paintings from the New Orleans Museum of Art, as well as signature works from local collectors and the artist's personal collection.

Also included in the exhibition are Rodrigue's early oak tree paintings, portraits of Louisiana governors and examples from his hurricane series. To round out the exhibition, Rodrigue's recently completed painting of an LSU-clad Blue Dog will be shown alongside a new work entitled Cajuns and Blue Dogs on the River, created specifically for the LSU Museum of Art's exhibition.
