What Kind Of Drama Will It Be?
“Certainly Rothko thought that people had an emotional depth and inherent reverence that could support a totally new understanding of art. That’s why he was a communal artist and not a priapic hero out of art’s history. His paintings were trying to describe the view that was possible now that the storm had passed. The view was the enormous space for living that material prosperity’s abolition of care has made. Rothko succeeds or fails depending on how able we are to uncurl from our crouch. And stand. And look.
So which is it?
That’s where we are. We are in the silence before the answer is given. Capitalism has made all our ridiculous lives into the dress rehearsal for the rest of the world. None of us deserves it, but then again, no one asks to be born.
So what kind of drama will it be?”
