Description:This first major monograph of Louisiana-born contemporary artist George Rodrigue surveys his career from student days in the early 1960s to the 1990s. The book explores his artistic education, aesthetic principles, and Cajun legacy, and presents a broad survey of the various stages of his career. Particular concentration is given to his Cajun period, during which Rodrigue expressed the rich legacy of his Cajun background and the Cajun way of life.
