Rodrigue: The Sanders Collection contains 100 full-color images that cover the breadth of Rodrigue’s career, including his classic Louisiana landscapes, Cajun culture scenes, and the iconic Blue Dog series which catapulted the artist to worldwide fame.
Lavishly illustrated and designed, the new volume features more than 70 rarely seen and never before-published images from the private collection of Don Sanders, Houston businessman, philanthropist, and longtime friend of George Rodrigue. An introductory essay examines the unique relationship between artist and collector, and poignantly describes how their friendship influenced each other’s lives. Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Nolan Ryan, a friend to both Sanders and Rodrigue, provides a heartfelt Foreword.
