Show Notes
Dr. Susan Weininger, age 78, is professor emerita of art history
at Roosevelt University, Chicago, where she was Chair of the
Department of History, Art History and Philosophy.
She concentrates on art from the first half of the 20 th century,
delving deeply into the lives of artists in order to better
understand their work. For example, Susan is an expert on the
life and art of Gertrude Abercrombie whose work she curated for
a museum and published a catalogue and later published a book.
Currently she is working on a book of a private collection and is
creating a retrospective for artist Don Baum. Susan notes that
“not everyone can keep doing what they love doing; I am blessed
to keep my mind alert on this track.” As a lifelong educator,
Susan connects with younger people as a docent with the Illinois
Holocaust Museum.
By studying the lives of specific artists I can better understand their art.-Susan Weininger
