Maggie's Ponytail 1993

"Maggie's Ponytail" (1993) by Susan Rothenberg is an abstract painting that showcases the artist's signature bold brushstrokes and use of color. The painting features a dark, almost black, figure in the foreground against a vibrant red background. The figure, seemingly a ponytail, is painted with thick lines, contrasting sharply with the more blended and textured background. Rothenberg, known for her exploration of figuration and abstraction, uses this artwork to explore the relationship between form and color, resulting in a powerful and captivating piece.
