Settling along the Atchafalaya Basin near the Gulf of Mexico, they struggled to find comfort and make a home in this new land. These are the people Rodrigue chose to paint, Cajuns who lived before the modern era, seemingly ‘pasted’ into their environment, just as their ancestors were placed into unfamiliar surroundings. These people were hunters, fishermen, trappers, and barbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRodrigue’s imagination often took seemingly ordinary scenes and activities into the realm of the surreal. This painting, \u003cem\u003eBroussard’s Barbershop\u003c\/em\u003e (1971), based on a photograph of unknown origin (left), depicts a typical barber shop from the 1940s\/50s. However, Rodrigue removed the figures from the interior setting and placed them among the Louisiana live oaks. In his book, \u003cem\u003eThe Cajuns of George Rodrigue\u003c\/em\u003e (Oxmoor House, 1976), Rodrigue described the scene:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesiring to be professional barbers, Broussard and his brothers bought red velvet barber chairs on sale for $5.00 apiece in New Orleans. Once purchased, these precious chairs had to be transported on barges and boats and brought across the swamp. It took six days to get them from New Orleans to Lafayette. But once the barbers got the red plush velvet chairs in place beneath the Spanish moss dripping from the spreading tree, they became professionals — at least on Saturday — the only day they were open.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe early reproductions of Cajun paintings were posters often mass-produced for special events or festivals. In the 2000s, Rodrigue began to utilize a four-color process for his Cajun works, as it was still considered too complicated to reproduce the full spectrum of details in these rich oil paintings. However, improvements in computer programming now allow printmakers to more easily separate colors in images, and for the first time, this is a true 16-color silkscreen of a Rodrigue Cajun painting, capturing the comprehensive range of tones, including the plush red velvet chairs Rodrigue described.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Price and availability subject to change without notice, sold unframed.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll prints sold directly by the Rodrigue Estate are also accompanied with a certificate of authenticity indicating the number of the print purchased from the estate.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/legacyarttour.org\/2010\/09\/15\/broussards-barber-shop-melding-fact-with-fiction\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn more about \u003cem\u003eBroussard's Barbershop\u003c\/em\u003e by visiting Wendy Rodrigue's Life and Legacy page here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56357829345446,"sku":null,"price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/1726\/0198\/files\/Broussards-Barber-Shop-web.webp?v=1775769051"},{"product_id":"a-basket-of-roses-1","title":"A Basket of Roses","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEvangeline, A Tale of Acadie\u003c\/em\u003e (1847) is an epic poem by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, describing the tragic account of two lovers, Evangeline and Gabriel, separated on their wedding day during the expulsion of the Acadians from Nova Scotia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReunited in old age, Evangeline, now a nun, tended to Gabriel in the last few minutes of his life, when she happened upon him by chance as she cared for the sick in Pennsylvania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis heartbreaking and romantic story inspired many artists, including George Rodrigue, who painted her more than one hundred times in his career, oftentimes painting her as she waited for Gabriel beneath the Evangeline Oak in southwest Louisiana.
