Our family has a picture of one of his artwork with a gentleman playing a violin. My brother in law purchased it in 1980.

I remember sitting with my family at a restaurant on the Isle Saint Louis with Blachon and his family; the waiter brought us some fancy wine to taste, giving Roger the glass to swirl and sniff. After a few long moments with his nose in the glass Roger looked up at the waiter and said "Chanel, n'est pas? "
ReplyDeleteHe was a star, funny and warm and we miss him terribly.

I love Rodgers works...What an amazing fellow. I wish I could have know him personally. I can see his thinking through his various works. I recently lost my mom and my dad within 2 months apart. His art was one of my moms greatest ambitions and wishes to be able to do. It never happened......
