Product 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. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long Live The Blue Dog!, April 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Blue Dog Man (Hardcover)

This is a weighty (but not cumbersome) coffee table book that any thinking, feeling human being would be happy to own. Ever since I saw some original Blue Dog paintings in New Orleans, I've wanted to own one of them. Alas, I'm too poor. This book captures the spirit of the little alien-looking pooch and lets me borrow it for a price I can manage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blue Dog makes me laugh!, March 18, 2000

By	Lois A. Kennedy (Indialantic, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blue Dog Man (Hardcover)

After an extremely stressful day of running my own busy insurance agency, I was browsing through the aisles at Barnes & Noble when my eyes spotted a delightful book with a captivating blue dog on its cover. I sat down with the book and found myself smiling and laughing quietly as I read the entire book. Blue Dog totally captivated me, and the stress faded as I read the book and enjoyed the images. I've never before bought such a book, but felt I must have this one! I will take Blue Dog Man to my office so that I can turn to it when things seem to get just TOO serious. I wish I could thank the artist personally for giving me such joy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, June 1, 2000

By	Ahmad Jordan "Ahmad Jordan" (Bufalo, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Blue Dog Man (Hardcover)

This is one of those "hmmmmm...interesting" books. George Rodrigue gives a compelling history about his roots and how Blue Dog came into creation. While I love the content of the book, I am even more facinated by the design. Inside you will find a "punch-out" blue dog mask, postcards and other little nifty interactive thing-a-ma-jigs that help make this book such a pleasure to enjoy.
