Susan Rothenberg

Amazon.com

Though Susan Rothenberg is perhaps best known for her paintings of horses, the subjects of her paintings are in fact quite varied--abstract portraits, landscapes, and atmospheric expressionist canvases round out her oeuvre. This book is the first comprehensive monograph of Rothenberg's work, offering the reader a broad view of both her paintings and her life. Born in upstate New York, Rothenberg spent her early years studying art and dance before moving to Manhattan for college. There, she became involved in the conceptually oriented art world of 1960s New York City. As Rothenberg began to individuate herself and her work from that movement, her canvases became one of the forces that reinvigorated American painting in the 1970s. Rothenberg later headed to the Southwest, inspiring the incorporation of themes culled from her desert environment into her continually evolving painting style. This volume is filled with excellent reproductions of her work, accompanied by Rothenberg's own comments about her ideas and inspirations that provide excellent insight into both her work and her character.

Book Description

"Opens a window on the mind and career of a painter. . . . A welcome and worthy addition to the literature of contemporary art."

-Miami Herald Now available in a well-priced paperback edition, this award-winning study explores the life and work of Susan Rothenberg, "a major talent" (Robert Hughes, Time) who is "one of the best artists of her generation" (Michael Kimmelman, The New York Times) and "our best painter's painter" (Peter Plagens, Newsweek). Illustrated with original documentary photographs and nearly 90 colorplates, including three gatefolds, the book puts Rothenberg's arresting images of horses, body fragments, dancers, and spinners in context-and examines how her personal emblems and experiences figure in her work. 161 illustrations, 87 in full color, 3 gatefolds, 10 x 11" JOAN SIMON is a writer and independent curator specializing in contemporary art. The former managing editor of Art in America, she is the author of studies on Jenny Holzer and Bruce Nauman.

Dances with Images.......2001-08-17

SUSAN ROTHENBERG's animals are recognizable and simply drawn on flat but energetically worked surfaces to capture movement and spirit: they in particular link the impulsively figurative Abstract Expressionism of Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock with the geometrical Minimalism of Barnett Newman and Ad Reinhardt. In fact, she sees art as needing a maker to change a familiar object into something other than itself: her horse paintings call up the direct, subtle imagery and tonality of cave paintings on abstractly lush surfaces; "Mukuhara" shows a sprightly single bound in midair and midfield with a hinted vertical divide in the overall sienna surface, and "Flanders" barely details black figure and ground within white outlines. But when she starts talking about landscapes and portraits, it means that she is putting a stop to serializing her images: bikers; dancers "Holding the floor" by firmly grounding an arabesque and countering with a sweeping arm gesture, jugglers, spinners, and vaulters "Vaulting" in the one continuously steady step-by-step movement of Marcel Duchamp's "Nude descending a staircase"; hands and heads; horses; and U-turns. Her "Grandmother" portrait is the first time that she has two separate figures relating to each other in her art. Her daughter "Maggie's cartwheel" portrait is one of my favorites, partly because it makes me think of the artist's hoop performance in a beach piece by friend Joan Jones. Her "Mondrian" charcoal on paper portrait is the first time that she brings an art-historical figure into her work and that she paints after drawing instead of her usual turning a drawing into a painting. I particularly like the work that she does in blue: "The blue chair," which author Joan Simon describes as Matisse-wise in the sitter giving off comfort, composure and containment while looking toward the unknown; my two favorite landscapes, "Blue frontal," with upturned white horse legs framing a blue-black field with a blue horse, and "Foxes on a hill," with the asymmetrically symmetrical composition on a deep blue with black field; and "Blue woman," "Buddha with bamboo," and "Folded Buddha" in Giotto-style blue. The book's beautiful illustrations and clear text do justice to the artist and her work: it leaves no doubt about how she fits it with THE IMPACT OF MODERN PAINTS by Jo Crook and Tom Learner, MATISSE, by Lawrence Gowing, LEE KRASNER by Robert Hobbs, and PIET MONDRIAN by Hans Ludwig C. Jaffe.

Book Description

Celebrating poet Robert Creeley's pathbreaking role as an artistic collaborator, this illustrated volume adds substantially to the documented history of contemporary multidisciplinary art. For more than forty years, Creeley has worked on collaborative projects with some of the best-known artists of our time, including Georg Baselitz, Francesco Clemente, Jim Dine, R. B. Kitaj, Marisol, and Susan Rothenberg. In Company explores this history with essays, interviews, archival photographs, and images of the books and portfolios created, from Numbers (1968) with Robert Indiana to Edges (1997) with Alex Katz. An accompanying CD-ROM features interactive presentations of the projects.

The publication of In Company coincides with a traveling exhibition organized by the Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University. The exhibition, which opened in Niagara this spring and will travel to the New York Public Library in September, will also appear at the Weatherspoon Art Gallery at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, the University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum, and Stanford University's Green Library.

Susan Rothenberg

ASIN: 0847822672
Release Date: 2000-03-02

Book Description

Susan Rothenberg first gained critical attention in the mid-seventies when she introduced the simple, outlined image of an animal onto the austere canvas of Minimalism. Since then, her exploration of the formal tenets of painting has been manifested through increasingly complex compositions, rendered in a recognizably gestural style. This combination has in part allowed for the consistent interpretation of the artist's work as being both emotionally intense and a serious contribution to the tradition of heroic painting.

Since moving to the Southwest from New York City a decade ago, Rothenberg has created a body of work that is at once a continuation and evolution of previous concerns, and an expression of dramatic changes. Susan Rothenberg: Paintings from the Nineties, published on the occasion of a major exhibit of the artist's works from the past decade, brings together twenty of her most significant recent paintings. As these works have never been shown before as a group, this book provides the first opportunity to consider a crucial period in the career of one of our most important contemporary artists. Along with Rothenberg's haunting, evocative images, reproduced in full color, the volume includes an important critical introduction by Cheryl Brutvan, Beal Curator of Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and a poetic response to the artist's paintings by Robert Creeley.

Book Description

This visually exciting book, which presents a selection of signature works by European and American artists of the postwar generations, is drawn from the UBS Art Collection. One of the richest and most varied holdings of international contemporary art in the United States, the Collection was begun in 1970 by Donald B. Marron, UBS's American Chairman, a Vice Chairman and former President of the Museum, and a Trustee of the Museum since 1975. This unique publication accompanies an exhibition of 74 of these outstanding works of art, including 44 that were a gift to the Museum in 2002. The works reproduced here include paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, and mixed-media pieces by a wide and varied array of significant artists, including Joseph Beuys, Chuck Close, Jasper Johns, Anselm Kiefer, Brice Marden, Robert Rauschenberg, Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, and many others. In addition, Ann Temkin, Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture, interviewed 11 of these artists for the book, producing illuminating conversations about how they work, the origins of their ideas, and other topics. The artists interviewed include Vija Celmins, Damien Hirst, Susan Rothenberg, Ed Ruscha, Robert Ryman, and Lorna Simpson. Also included is an interview with Donald B. Marron by Glenn D. Lowry, Director of The Museum of Modern Art.

A window into the life and soul of one incredible man!.......2005-03-03

The very essence of this book caputured me immidiately. The circumstances that occured for Susan Rothenberg to even know of Johnnie Wilson, Jr., make be believe. She has so gracefully captured the life journey of Johnnie Wilson, Jr. and is so careful to make it completely his story. From the begining I am taken with the genuine spirit of Johnnie. This will be history for my future children. A story of a "normal" man who led an extraordinary life and was acknowledged in history for doing so. A legacy that hails courage, honesty and wisdom.

Book Description

Comics are a natural for second language development. Their unique mix of abundant, comprehension-building visuals and authentic text readily engages learners, contextualizes language, and offers a window into the culture. Yet despite their obvious advantages, comics remain unfairly branded as inappropriate classroom reading material, misunderstood and woefully underutilized. No more.

In Going Graphic teachers will find a comprehensive guide to embracing comics and effectively using them in any multilingual classroom. Building on the latest brain-based research, second language acquisition theory, and progressive literacy principles, Stephen Cary offers twenty-five proven activities for comics-based instruction in all classrooms, especially TESL/TEFL settings, and for all grade and English-proficiency levels.

These activities help nonnative and native learners alike meet a broad range of content and English-language development standards.

In fact, Cary has given you literally everything you need to start successfully integrating comics into your classroom tomorrow, including:

an FAQ that dispels the myths about comics, tells you why they work, and answers your questions about using them
field sketches from real classrooms that show you firsthand how to make comics an integral part of your multilingual teaching
authentic examples of student work from a variety of grade levels and settings that reveal just how much students can do when given the opportunity to both learn from comics and create their own
dozens of commercial samples to give you a sense of the remarkable breadth and depth of contemporary cartoons, comic strips, comic books, and graphic novels

I Love This Book!.......2005-02-21

Stephen Cary has written a wonderful book for teachers of English Learners as well as for native English Speakers in the process of expanding their language.

Cary's years of teaching and learning language acquisition theory and practice as well as his love of children and wonderful sense of humor have helped to create a terrific teaching aid. New and experienced teachers will find a great deal to inspire and encourage them. The book is full of real teaching experience. I have seen him teach and the students are instantly responsive and engaged, while being immersed in using rich language. He is an inspiring teacher and his experiences and humor have created an inspiring and easily accessible book. It is practical and easy to use. You too, will love this book!

DON'T THINK TWICE! WHAT AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR MOTIVATION!! .......2005-02-17

Herein lies a teacher's dream! A must read for anyone interested in increasing motivation in his/her students! Teachers love to get simple ideas to apply to class TOMORROW! This book sports teacher-friendly pertinent theory and tons of hands-on examples of how to use a very untapped resource and tool for motivation that demystifies reading and writing for students.

Stephen Cary's extensive background and interest in comics, his theoretical background in language education, and his experience with students and teachers who have used comics will assist teachers in accessing a "new" resource to utilize with all students, and especially linguistically diverse students. Whether it is to teach first or second (or third, etc.) language, young children or adults, the author's irresistible down-to-earth writing style and humor will make teachers laugh, address their realistic concerns about using a new resource, and provide them with relevant pictures, quotes, and anecdotes from fellow teachers and students who have used comics in the classroom! It will also give them an extensive list of resources to put this fabulous tool into practice. I give it a two thumbs up!

From the supplier: The increasing cultural diversity in US classrooms requires teachers to understand the effects of race and gender discrimination since both affect a teacher's expectations of his students. To this end, there are seven steps by which teachers may become culturally responsive. These pertain to becoming culturally literate, employing questioning methods that encourage critical thinking, giving effective feedback, analysis of instructional materials and building positive home-school relationships.
