First time I associated Philip Guston to Susan. Love them both.

[@bonnielargent4797]

I was thinking of Guston too. Those pinks!

[@Monique-rn9lg]

I am not familiar with this artist. She's fantastic! I really love her work. Thanks for the intro.

[@paulvest3157]

Susan was my mentor at Calarts. We had great conversations regarding not just art, but most anything. She was totally dedicated to her painting.

[@LINDAOZAG]

[@LukeDavis-h5o]

Such intriguing work, but PLEASE can we just stop perpetuating the myth that it's somehow glorious to martyr oneself for art by slowly poisoning yourself with toxic chemicals absorbed through your skin and lungs?

She said she doesn’t like horses?

[@gailalbers1430]

i think she meant she does not really have an emotional connection to horses as pets or such so she can see them purely formal . 🎉

[@throughmyeyes9940]

@@gailalbers1430 she probably meant that she really doesn't like horses

[@antoniocarlosrodriguescamp1497]

If you are lucky enough the market can pay loads of money for your doodles: Andy Warhol, Basquiat etc.

[@throughmyeyes9940]

she's a LOT better then both of them

[@dustyrustymusty3577]

Typical artist bullshit.

[@claudiamanta1943]

Sure thing you meant it. If you didn’t appreciate art and artists you wouldn’t click on such video. Methinks 😄

[@wemblyfez]

Sorry to hear you say this. Susan's comments were probably the most lucid and honest I've heard from an artist for a long time, especially from an artist of her stature. Her work ethic of just getting in there to the studio and doing something everyday is great advice for anyone in any discipline. I've been a fan of her work for years, especially the horses and though I may not like all her work, her philosophy and working attitude just makes sense.

[@gracehotdog6843]

Maybe experience the joy of creation and then maybe you’ll calm down

[@dustyrustymusty3577]

@@gracehotdog6843 I'll calm down when artists cease with the bullshit.

[@billcurran9729]

Fantasic, i didn't want the video to end, go Susan go and thank you

[@laotseu2003]

2005 ? presque 20 ans déjà. Susan a 60 ans lors de ce reportage et décédera en 2020. La fraicheur d'une petite fille qui cherche encore à s'améliorer avec un magnifique sourire.

[@mizb.7777]

Hmm My life as an artist isn’t about work everyday, it’s about my soul

[@xitapedrao1377]

I Think, aí em Someone saying as an artist he/she Works everday its look like in many ways not only by one way.

[@claudiamanta1943]

True. Maybe this lady’s soul resides in her studio. I bet sometimes she actually sleeps there. I feel that her house is just useful.

[@carlosio5]

@@claudiamanta1943 Susan died a few years ago....2020, I believe...🖤.so, perhaps her 'soul' has stayed in the studio...or more likely, within her surviving body of work.💥🔥❌🔥💥

[@gailalbers1430]

I understand what she says as having a work ethic as an artist . The Southwest is silent and empty and you have to be able to self motivate and not go for inspiration or distraction outside your studio or getting impulses from others. on the other hand i believe she became an alcoholic . 😊

[@meredith7236]

Wow fantastic woman artist

[@ronaldolamont]

How about just a fantastic artist, period!

[@Deshionskate]

The best

[@claudiamanta1943]

Thanks

[@art21org]

Thank you for your support!

[@claudiamanta1943]

I saw a studio on top of the house, made entirely of glass (retractable roof included). On the interior, a second set of glass windows that can be moved up and down. Paint(ings) on this second set of glass frames. The light smashed into bursts of colours. My temples knew about the light of the Sun painting the world. The Templars kinda knew this with their stained glass cathedrals.

[@annrubino6252]

Thank you for introducing me to Ms Rothenberg. Marvelous work from a true artist.
