Neal Auction Presents: The Art of George Rodrigue with Wendy Rodrigue With a background in formal art training from The Art Center College of Design in Pasadena which he attended from 1962 to 1967, George Rodrigue painted nudes occasionally throughout the 1970s and 1980s as part of his Cajun series, inspired by Roman sculpture and the drawings of the Old Masters. These works were generally not well-received by his conservative collectors; however, he continued to include figure studies and nudes in his paintings even as he developed the Blue Dog series in the early 1990s. His Blue Dog canvases that recreated famous classical nudes by artists such as Ingres and Manet from 1991 are ironically now among the most popular of his creations. Rodrigue abandoned the nude figure almost entirely for a decade once he was forced due to health concerns to transition from oil to fast-drying acrylic paints in the early 1990s, as he was not able to capture the female form as he liked with the new medium. "Only the Lonely" offered here and dated 1989 therefore represents a rare, early example of Rodrigue's Blue Dog series just as it was emerging from the loup-garou legend, combining the rich Acadiana landscape of his Cajun series with his love for the classical figure and the soon to be iconic image of the Blue Dog. Given the more developed nature of the Blue Dog, one suspects that the artist may have in fact added it to the scene later, in late 1991 or early 1992, making her "lonely" no more. The blonde figure is artfully draped in white and highlighted against the dark oak tree and foliage in timeless Rodrigue fashion and gazes down at the Blue Dog, whose enigmatic expression is asking the viewer: "Why am I here?" and "Where did I come from?" – questions that likely resonated creatively with the artist as he explored this new direction in his work.

Neal Auction Presents: The Art of George Rodrigue with Wendy Rodrigue George Rodrigue's first experience with sculpture came as a young child bedridden with polio when his mother brought him paint-by-number sets and modeling clay. He continued to explore art in three-dimensions throughout his life. In the 1970s, he created clay sculptures inspired by his own Cajun culture, echoing the themes of his paintings with figures melded into the Louisiana oak tree. He first modeled the soft clay with his fingers and then chiseled the hardened clay with metal tools to achieve his desired surfaces. Once complete, he worked with a foundry to transform the clay models using a classical lost wax process into finished bronze sculptures. By the 1980s, he primarily utilized the Shidoni Foundry in Tesuque, New Mexico, although he also spent extensive time in the mid-1980s at a foundry in Pietrasanta, Italy – a town famous for its foundries and marble since the Italian Renaissance. A monumental version of Legacy offered here and featuring Evangeline and Gabriel with Longfellow stands today in the Kaliste Saloom Office Park in Lafayette, LA and was completed in Italy. Subjects such as oak trees, Evangeline and a fisherman with his pirogue appear to have leapt from Rodrigue's canvases with the dark, rich patina of the bronze evoking his bayou landscapes in these rare, limited-edition sculptures.

(2 pcs.) Exh.: "Rodrigue's Louisiana: Forty Years of Cajuns, Blue Dogs, and Beyond Katrina", New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans, LA, Mar. 1 - June 8, 2008. Neal Auction Presents: The Art of George Rodrigue with Wendy Rodrigue George Rodrigue frequently utilized photography as inspiration for his canvases, from his mother's early photograph album and family snapshots to images of his own creatively contrived tableaus designed to serve as models for future paintings. His friends and relatives and even the family pet, Tiffany, often made appearances. In "The Yellow Team" offered here, the artist's son, Jacques, is depicted with Tiffany, the infamous model for the loup-garou and Blue Dog series. Even though Tiffany had died the year prior to his birth in 1981, Jacques is seen wearing a football helmet and standing in a bayou alongside the dog, both strong shapes locked into the scene by the dark oaks and glowing against the landscape. Completed around 1985, this work ties closely to Rodrigue's earliest use of Tiffany as the model for his loup-garou, first seen just one year prior in "Watchdog" of 1984. In need of inspiration for an image of the loup-garou, a Cajun legend of a werewolf or ghost dog that lurked in cemeteries and sugar cane fields, Rodrigue followed a familiar pattern by turning to his photo files. Tiffany had been with the Rodrigue family since she was a puppy and was a loyal studio companion for many years to the artist. He had many photographs of her, a number of them at eye-level, and found her strong shape suitable for his purposes. While those early loup-garou images would multiply and eventually metamorphose into the iconic Blue Dog, immortalizing Tiffany's shape, they had little to no connection to her as a pet and more to do with the artist's eye for an engaging, graphic element. In "The Yellow Team," Tiffany in her original black and white fur makes an appearance, as she would sporadically throughout the artist's career, and this work has more the feel of an imaginary family outing. Regardless of the color of the dog's coat, Rodrigue maintained his careful vision for the elements of his composition, treating each as a puzzle piece against his characteristic landscape. The result is a serious, carefully composed work of art which is simultaneously a charming, sentimental depiction of Rodrigue's modern day Cajun life.

Provenance: Estate of a Louisiana Gentleman Collector. Ill.: Rodrigue, George. The Cajuns of George Rodrigue. Birmingham: Oxmoor House Inc., 1976, p. 35. Note: “We have rice festivals, sugarcane festivals, yambilee festivals, cotton, shrimp, and crawfish festivals. The young girls, one of whom is the queen, are decorating the farm wagon, a float for early festival parades. These festivals, a unique part of the heritage of the Cajun, provide good times among people who love each other.” – George Rodrigue in The Cajuns of George Rodrigue, 1976 George Rodrigue’s years in art school, first in Lafayette and then in Los Angeles, in the 1960s gave him a solid grounding in the techniques and theories of design, drawing and painting. The time away from his home in small New Iberia, Louisiana also provided him with an acute appreciation of the uniqueness of his Cajun heritage, triggering a sense of nostalgia and purpose. He realized the traditional ways of the Cajuns were vanishing into the modern world, and he made it his mission to capture it visually. In his words, he would “graphically interpret the Cajun culture on canvas,” breaking the traditional rules of art to do so. After three years of painting solely landscapes, Rodrigue began to incorporate people into his scenes, often inspired by his mother’s early photographs and local folklore. The Cajuns, the ones who walk out from behind the distinctive oak trees in a Rodrigue painting, are not hidden in the shadows of heavy branches and hanging moss. They are framed by the trees and foliage, their heads never touching the sky, and they shine with a mysterious light. They are cut out and pasted onto their landscape, just as the Acadians were displaced from Nova Scotia and inserted into South Louisiana. As Wendy Rodrigue states: “Most importantly, in every Rodrigue painting the Cajun people glow with their culture.” This trait is particularly poignant in the artist’s canvases from the mid-1970s, such as the endearing “Queen of the Rice Festival, Crowley, Louisiana” offered here. Festivals have long played a central role in society in Louisiana, and as Rodrigue describes when writing about this painting, they were an important part of life for the Cajuns. In this timeless scene, the queen and her court ride in a wagon decorated with magnolias as part of the Rice Festival in Crowley. Held in October each year, the Rice Festival (now International Rice Festival) is one of Louisiana’s oldest and largest agricultural festivals, first held in 1937 to honor the rice industry, its workers and “the grain that not only makes us a community but family.” “Queen of the Rice Festival, Crowley, Louisiana” is a magnificent example of Rodrigue’s early Cajun series, included in The Cajuns of George Rodrigue monograph of 1976, and one of his most quintessentially Louisiana subjects. The canvas perfectly encapsulates the artist’s carefully developed and modern interpretation of the Acadiana landscape which serves as the ideal setting for his enduring depictions of the Cajuns.
