From the Inside Flap

Until now, little else could be said about George Rodrigue's mysterious, wildly popular icon. At long last, the Blue Dog Man, as Rodrigue calls himself, sheds light on his creation as he guides us through this remarkable collection of over sixty new Blue Dog paintings. Rodrigue takes us on an unprecedented narrated journey into the heart of a new Blue Dog generation, tracing the evolution of Blue Dog from her beginnings in Louisiana legends to her myriad forays into the dazzling, multi-chrome modern world. Blue Dog Man is more than a collection of Blue Dog tales; it is a moving account of the spiritual evolution of an artist and an enlightening commentary on today's changing world. "Blue Dog," says Rodrigue, "is nothing if not a journey." This book is an invitation to longtime fans and newcomers alike to join the Blue Dog in her exciting and most unusual odyssey.

About the Author

George Rodrigue was born in 1944 in New Iberia, in the heart of French Louisiana, where he continues to live and work. He and the Blue Dog have been featured on CNN, "The Today Show," in The New York Times, and in People magazine.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

Foreword by Tom Brokaw Blue Dog and I share an office in my home. When I am working, I can look up at the wall and see a picture of Blue Dog staring out from within a television set. The caption reads, "Sometimes I feel like a Blue Dog." It's a funny, provocative commentary on the feelings I often have as I look into the lens of a television camera and, by extension, into the eyes of millions of Americans. "What are they thinking," I often wonder, "of the world I am describing to them?"

So it is one more persona for Blue Dog - a playful symbol of the unspoken communication between anchorman and viewer. Of course, what amuses me most of all is the unspoken part: the very enigma of Blue Dog's baleful stare, the deeply silent expression in those haunting eyes.

This amuses me because my friend George Rodrigue, the creator of Blue Dog, is one of the most loquacious people I know. In the first hour of our first meeting, George eagerly volunteered his life story, his favorite Cajun foods, his best and worst real estate deals, his plans to paint a portrait of George Bush, the friends we have in common, some ribald Louisiana political lore, and a nonstop commentary on all that was going on around him. It was punctuated by a great gleeful laugh that is as much a part of his personality as his robust appetite for life.

However, when I saw his art I knew there was much more to this son of Cajun country. What too few know is that before he painted Blue Dog, George was a highly acclaimed folk artist whose rich portrayals of backwater Louisiana life were eagerly collected. Well before Blue Dog made her first appearance, I was happy to purchase from George Rodrigue a stunning representation of a voodoo priestess visiting a Louisiana cemetery.

When I first saw Blue Dog in one of her early incarnations, I thought, "Hmmm, interesting." Then I turned away, but when I turned back and the dog was still staring at me, her ears alert, head slightly cocked, I began to understand George's excitement over his new work. He has captured more than the soul of a favorite but departed pet. In Blue Dog's steady and questioning stare, you can find personal introspection, a moment of imposed calm, and the unconditional love that dogs are justly famous for sharing.

Any appreciation of art is a subjective experience. If it moves you, lingers after you've walked away, makes you laugh, or simply infuses you with good feeling, it passes the test. Blue Dog does all that. And like the best of dogs, whatever their color, she asks nothing in return. Blue Dog is a reminder that there are some things in life that we should just accept on their own terms and never take for granted.

-TOM BROKAW

Bought used it was good enough the spine was a little riped and scuffs all over but only could tell if look in light. It was marked as very good condition. For $6 its still good the inside looked new. I gave to my 5 year old son so its a pretty good buy since there's a chance he might tear it. I like the blue dog cause he's cute. I like my own made up story about him instead of how he actually became the blue dog. I seen his paintings on a show called auction hunters they found some in a storage unit and I just had to have a blue dog book.
