“There is only one thing I fear in life, my friend… One day the black will swallow the red.”
Mark Rothkois in his New York studio in 1958/59, having been commissioned to paint a group of murals for the expensive and exclusiveFour Seasons restaurant. He gives orders to his assistant, Ken, as he mixes the paints, makes the frames, and paints the canvases. Ken, however, brashly questions Rothko’s theories of art and his acceding to work on such a commercial project. For his part, Rothko dislikes the rise ofpop art.
Ultimately, Rothko stops working on the project and decides to return the money. He explains to Ken that the Four Seasons is an inappropriate place for his murals to be seen.
