Description:
George Rodrigue (American/Louisiana, b. 1944), "Cameo Appearance: Blue Dog Series", oil on canvas, signed lower left, signed and dated "1992" en verso, 24 in. x 30 in.
- Provenance: Provenance: Purchased from the Rodrigue Studio, Royal Street, New Orleans, 1992 ~ Note: "Cameo Appearance" is part of Rodrigue's most popular "Blue Dog Series", which has been utilized in the national advertising campaigns of Absolut Vodka, Neiman Marcus, and Xerox, as well as featured in the 1997 election campaign for President Bill Clinton and Vice-President Al Gore. The series has been the subject of many museum and gallery exhibitions, including the recent retrospective George Rodrigue's Louisiana: Forty Years of Cajuns, Blue Dogs, and Beyond Katrina at the New Orleans Museum of Art. The essence of the artist's characteristic iconic blue dog is here represented by an earlier illustration of the blue loup-garou or Cajun werewolf, side by side with the black and white Tiffany, his family pet, and her fiery red alter ego, or a representation of past mischief. Reference: Ginger Danto and George Rodrigue, The Art of George Rodrigue, (New York, 2003).
