Rodrigue Appraisal

We Are Marching Again by George Rodrigue Print

This item is a framed art print featuring a depiction of George Rodrigue's iconic Blue Dog. The print, titled 'We Are Marching Again', showcases the Blue Dog in a stylized, somewhat abstract form, set against a vibrant yellow background. The dog itself features blue fur with lighter blue accents and white markings around its face, including a distinctive white stripe between its eyes. Its eyes are large and round, with yellow irises and black pupils, imparting a characteristic wide-eyed gaze. The body of the dog is predominantly dark, almost silhouetted, with bright blue paws and yellow bands at its 'wrists' and 'ankles'. Two horizontal dark bands traverse the yellow background behind the dog, adding depth and structure to the composition. The print is housed within a black, probably wooden or composite, frame with a white mat, providing a clean border around the artwork. The frame appears to be in good condition with minor reflections visible on the glass, suggesting it is glazed. No significant damage, such as scratches or dents, are immediately visible on the frame or the print itself, though the reflective surface makes a thorough inspection challenging. Below the main image, the title 'We Are Marching Again' and 'by George Rodrigue' are printed, along with a handwritten signature, likely a reproduction, on the right side. The style is distinctly modern and folk-art inspired, characteristic of George Rodrigue's work, suggesting a contemporary period or recent vintage for the print. The craftsmanship of the reproduction and framing appears to be standard for commercially available art prints.
