Susan Rothenberg
“Rothenberg always liked to play on contradictions between the quick, snapshot nature of her chosen image (a galloping horse, a teetering bicyclist, Mondrian solemnly turning like a mantis on the dance floor) and the nuanced and obviously slow way it was presented.” Robert Hughes,
1984
Susan Rothenberg's 1984 work employs charcoal, graphite, ink, and crayon on paper to depict dynamic, gestural imagery. The piece exemplifies her characteristic tension between the spontaneity of the sketch and the deliberate, nuanced execution of the final composition.
