Susan Rothenberg is an absolute painting genius. She is a goddess in my world of art, and whether or not she smokes shouldn't influence whether you "like" her art or not. Goodness, grow the F* up, people. Reminds me of Marilyn Monroe's quote:
Most artists are pretty insecure about their works unless pompous a-holes. If someone points out that my art is a failure, I'm too vulnerable to defend myself, because I already know it is a failure.
I don't see where people are getting "large ego" from. She is actively critiquing her own work, pointing out what she thinks is working & what isn't. And if she feels so strongly that she swears- which happens /once/, so people can stop being prudish about it- then she swears. And many people smoke, even though it's not the best decision. I may not be a huge fan of her work, no, but honestly, people, lay off the woman. You sound childish attacking her like this.

Gosh, I understand you so well. "It is someone else's job". "Completely personal". I do the art I do. I too have wished to be a "part of it". I still haven't found the way. However, I live vicariously through you. Thank you.

One "F" word? Like Chaney or Biden? The cigarette? Have you ever been to an opening? Where everyone is poisoning their livers with alcohol? Ego? Seriously you must have been watching a different video than this one. I have students that have more obnoxious egos than this. Sheesh. She is a painter, and a very good one. What do you want? Saint Susan?
@ANDPRY respect all artists, just because you dont agree with her work and personality doesnt mean that you should critisize her so negativley. I personally enjoy her work, it has a lot of personal conflict

there is no 'bad" in art, there is only "i hate "...and the reasons for the "i hate' are personal and not the artist's responsibility. (btw, i "hate" hockney. GOOOOOD do i hate hockney..). her work seems to me to come from emotion. i appreciate it.
I absolutely hate how she speaks about her work, you can see that she has such a large ego, and truly thinks her paintings are genius. But for me she is one of the worst living recognized painters. She is almost as bad as Julian Schnabel.

So sorry to hear about your dog and that experience. I have been there but have not painted it yet.

@quenchedinlife What does "how she speaks", her large ego, or how highly she values her own work have to do with her paintings?
