| Description |
Was this well-paying commission a pathetic sell out that would undermine his creative soul? Or a rare chance to make superficial suits choke on their food without their really knowing why?
Rothko's dilemma with the Four Seasons murals is a conundrum that faces every artist who wants to make a living. There is always a demand for Apollonian art - the grandiose, the confirmatory, the comforting, the pictures in the bank lobby, the wallpaper in a restaurant, the art on the walls of the rich. But the artist with the Dionysian soul often has to choose between poverty and compromise.
