Mural honoring LSU Professor of Architecture, Julian T. White, by Robert Dafford
This Friday and Saturday on LPB's Art Rocks!, meet renowned artist Robert Dafford, who has painted a collection of murals at Louisiana State University that span three floors of the College of Art & Design. The murals honor architect Julian T. White, the first African American professor at LSU. Dafford is a native of Lafayette, Louisiana, and has been designing and painting primarily outdoor works professionally since 1970. He is one the most prolific and successful muralists in America, with over 350 large scale public works completed throughout the U.S., as well as France, Belgium, England, and Canada. Robert Dafford tells us about the project at LSU on this week’s Art Rocks! Plus, see stories about artists from around the country.
Art Rocks! airs Friday, April 10 at 8:30pm and Saturday, April 11 at 5:30pm and is hosted by Country Roads publisher James Fox-Smith. Current and past Art Rocks! episodes are here: www.lpb.org/artrocks.
