Klappentext

Discover the work of Susan Rothenberg in this captivating new publication, which brings together paintings from throughout the acclaimed American artist's career.

Over five decades, Susan Rothenberg developed a charged visual language that carries immense physical presence, emotional intensity, and psychological nuance, redefining the medium of painting while capturing her unique vision of the world. This new publication offers a holistic representation of Rothenberg's work, tracing her career from the monumental horse paintings that brought her to prominence in the 1970s, to the fragmented limbs and figures in motion that defined her production in the 1980s, through to the natural drama of New Mexico's desert landscape which infused her work throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s. Introduced by Alexis Lowry, brilliant reproductions and striking details of Rothenberg's paintings are paired with thought-provoking responses by writers, artists, and thinkers including curator Shanay Jhaveri, artist Joan Jonas, and critic Lynne Tillman, while a meticulously researched biography provides insight into Rothenberg's remarkable life.
