I bought this book for my husband, who is a huge fan of George Rodrigue. What can I say? He was floored. He's never seen such a coplete collection of Rodrigue's work, and the history included in the book for George and his life and work is great.
This is a book that you need to have if you are a true fan, and if you're never heard of him, you should get it for the tremendous artwork the book holds.

As an owner of an original oil painting (one of my prize possessions) of a blue dog, it is always great to find companion items. This book is a MUST for anyone interested in the work of George Rodrigue and his Blue Dog paintings. An independent look from an expert at the life of this distiguished and popular modern art painter.

Great book at a good price. Illustrations are of a good quality, which, in my opinion, is very, very important for an art book. Forward by Michael Lewis is entertaining. The book will serve as a unique reference source and idea spark plug for other artists. It is helpful to see in the book a broad range of Rodrigue's works over the years so we can appreciate the Blue Dog creations but also get a sense for the the Artist's many other contributions in the broader sense of his entire career to date. Wow,,,,,,,, who would have thought someone could think up so many interesting and greatly different variations on a simple front view of a little dog?

This book was given to a college at work. As she loves Blue Dog, I sent it to her. She was so happy to receive this gift. She will still come up to me and thank me for it. I recommend this for the person who has everything.
