Important September Estates Auction: Day 2 of 3

In the face of a changing world, artist George Rodrigue sought to preserve the Cajun culture through his art. His Blue Dog painting series, based on Cajun loup-garou legends, led him to popularity in the art world. Available on the second day of this three-day auction is an oil painting from Rodrigue’s series titled Flames of Hope. “The dog never changes position. He just stares at you. And you’re looking at him, looking for some answers… and he’s just looking back at you, wondering the same,” Rodrigue told The New York Times in an interview.
