George Rodrigue (March 13, 1944 – December 14, 2013) was an American artist who in the late 1960s began painting Louisiana landscapes,[1] followed soon after by outdoor family gatherings[2] and southwest Louisiana 19th-century and early 20th-century genre scenes.[3] His paintings often include moss-clad oak trees,[4] which are common to an area of French Louisiana known as Acadiana.
In the mid-1990s Rodrigue's Blue Dog paintings,[5] based on a Cajun legend called Loup-garou, catapulted him to worldwide fame.
His funeral Mass was open to the public and held at St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square, New Orleans.
