Description
The painter of the French Quarter, in his own words. Louisiana native Rolland Golden (1931–2019) was one of the remarkable artists to live, work, and raise a family in New Orleans’ historic French Quarter — and in this warm memoir he tells the story of his life and career from the inside.
Published in 2014 by the University Press of Mississippi, Rolland Golden: Life, Love, and Art in the French Quarter traces his journey from a Louisiana childhood to decades painting the streets, people, and spirit of the Quarter. Golden writes with the honesty and color that marked his canvases: about family, fellow artists, hurricanes and hard times, and the enduring magic of the city he loved.
As reviewers have noted, Golden proves as gifted a storyteller as he was a painter. A must-read for lovers of New Orleans, Southern art, and the artist’s life.
