description: "Blue Dog Man is a sumptuously produced art book, tracing the genius of Rodrigue's decade-long Blue Dog images...in this volume, both the artist and his art are forthright, expansive and winning."- Art Scope "There's just something about that dog..." Blue Dog has become a touchstone of contemporary American culture, and in this edition of 70 brilliant paintings, the reader is taken on an unprecedented journey into the heart of the Blue Dog generation. Tracing the evolution of Blue Dog from its origins in Louisiana legends to its myriad forays into the dazzling, multichrome modern world, artist George Rodrigue reflects on everything from Christianity and the afterlife to Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, and mass media.
