Details: | The Louisiana State Museum, Louisiana Museum Foundation, and Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser are excited to announce the unveiling of Rodrigue: Before the Blue Dog, a new exhibition opening at the Cabildo in New Orleans on Saturday, November 23, 2024. This new exhibit presents more than fifty of Rodrigue's unique paintings alongside Louisiana State Museum artifacts related to Cajun culture. Opening night will be celebrated on Friday, November 22, with a Patron Party followed by the Louisiana Museum Foundation's annual Founders Ball. Before George Rodrigue's Blue Dog paintings catapulted him to international fame, the artist was already known for his dark, often ghostly, depictions of the Cajun landscape, culture, and people. Born and raised in New Iberia, Rodrigue returned to the region after attending art school in Los Angeles with a new appreciation of its distinctiveness.
