Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
People has called Rodrigue's blue dog paintings "the hottest fad in popular art since Walter Keane's big-eyed waifs in the 1960s." Folks like Hillary Rodham Clinton and Whoopi Goldberg collect blue dogs, and now images of the adorable little pooch are available to everyone.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
How did Tiffany, George Rodrigue's beloved pet, become the Blue Dog? What secrets lie behind her soulful golden eyes? And why has this tale about a dog, her master, and his paintings inspired millions? STC's long-awaited reprint of Rodrigue's original Blue Dog book reveals the answers.

Through vibrant paintings, Rodrigue dramatizes Tiffany's transformation from a frisky and white-furred terrier/spaniel to Blue Dog. In the process, he illustrates the back and forth of both man and beast as they strive for true communication - a level of understanding that goes far beyond their differences. The text gives voice to Tiffany as well as George, and the terrier/spaniel's sharp, sophisticated sense of humor provides a completely unique perspective on the nature of love, art, and human behavior. Joyous and moving, Blue Dog is a must for any fan of Rodrigue's sublime canine companion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute cards, September 12, 2000
This review is from: Blue Dog - Note Cards (Misc. Supplies)
Great package. I was disappointed with the choice of prints as none of the 5 show Blue Dog in her entirety. Only on the cover of the box do you see all her legs. I heard that the 2001 calendar has been cancelled because of Rodrigue's disgust with the reselling of his stuff on online auctions. These note cards are selling on ebay for over $50 to people that don't know to check amazon.com first. Posters that are still readily available online (Friendship) are selling on ebay for 5 times what they retail for. Always check amazon.com first!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT LITTLE WORKS OF ART, August 11, 2000
By seth (orlando) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue Dog - Note Cards (Misc. Supplies)
I really like these notecards - weird thing is - i didn't buy them to use them as notecards, but to frame them as a small little series. They look great - the colors are extremely vivid and the pictures placed as a series will brighten up any room.

The box that the cards come in is also useful - it's a sturdy little box that i throw all my change in

5.0 out of 5 stars Add to your Blue Dog collection, September 15, 2000
By V. Martin (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Blue Dog - Note Cards (Misc. Supplies)
Well, I am glad that I can finally afford to have Blue Dog in my home! I am a big Blue Dog fan, but can't afford gallery prices of Rodrigue's silkscreens. So these cute little cards will soon be framed and on my walls. Like the other reviewer, I just can't part with them to use them as notecards. I love the sturdy little box they come in as well.

And many thanks to reviewer Rob, who lets us know that the Friendship poster can be found for online ordering! Ordered mine this morning!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Note Cards
Cards are fabulous. Delivery a little slow -- and vendor taped receipt to card box, so it was ruined. But, the cards themselves are great.
