Blue: The Life and Art of George Rodrigue (Film)

Presented by: LSU Museum of Art and Louisiana Public Broadcasting

Arrive at 6:00 PM for a pre-screening reception and stay after the movie for a panel with the filmmakers! 

From the award-winning team and executive producers of George Dunbar: Mining the Surfaces, Fats Domino—Walking Back to New Orleans, A Tribute to Toussaint, and Irma Thomas: The Soul Queen of New Orleans comes the latest documentary by WLAE-TV and LAE Productions: Blue: The Life and Art of George Rodrigue.

George Rodrigue, his story, his artistic contribution, his entire life, are a vivid part of the Louisiana landscape, and continue to be an important part of the art world in America and beyond. A man of his surroundings and culture, a man of his times, a vigorously collected and admired figure, the “Blue Dog” painter has a legacy that endures.

From his bayou-inspired Louisiana cultural works, literally putting the Cajuns on the map, to his world-renowned Blue Dog catalogue, Rodrigue’s work is full of life, a deep ethos, color, narrative, and joyous storytelling. WLAE is on a new film journey telling this remarkable tale.

Directed by: WLAE-TV and LAE Productions
