Curating the Blue Dog Man

Join Wendy Rodrigue Magnus, widow of “Blue Dog” artist George Rodrigue, for a behind-the-scenes tour of her private collection of paintings and sculptures by Rodrigue, spanning art school to his death in 2013. Learn the stories behind the paintings, including the origin of the Blue Dog, the process and symbolism behind his Louisiana landscapes and Cajun paintings, and more. Of special interest is Rodrigue’s long history with Santa Fe and his many paintings inspired by the area, as well as masterful collaborations with Wendy’s current husband, renowned Santa Fe silversmith, Douglas Magnus.
