Blue Dog Speaks

George Rodrigue

Sterling Publishing Company, 2008 - Art - 511 pages

Rodrigue reveals how an idea that originated in childhood tales has now grown far beyond; his Blue Dogs have moved into formerly uncharted territory and now express larger concepts about contemporary life. Rodrigue uses Blue Dog painting titles to provide insight into the human condition.
