Acquired from the artist; Roland Begneaud Family Collection, Lafayette, LA. Ill.Rodrigue, George. The Cajuns of George Rodrigue. BirminghamOxmoor House, 1976, p. 93. Exh."George RodrigueCajuns and Blue Dogs / Paintings from Louisiana Family Collections 1971-2008", Louisiana State Museum Wedell Williams Aviation and Cypress Sawmill Museum, Patterson, LA, July 17 - Nov. 29, 2008. NoteWhen George Rodrigue decided to graphically interpret his home state of Louisiana, he focused on the live oak tree as his symbol, pushing it to the front of the canvas and cropping it at the top. With a raised horizon line, the light shines from beneath the trees illuminating the rich surface of the bayou. The light also originates from the figures that inhabit Rodrigue"s bayous, clothed in white against the dark oaks. To Rodrigue, this light symbolized the hope of the Cajun people for their new home in Louisiana. In this work, two friends who became lovers sit beneath the romantic and enduring oaks where, according to legend, Evangeline waited for her Gabriel.
