Rothko Chapel Will Reopen in June. Patron Saint of Capitalism

  • Wells Tao It's about a dead man, a capitalist who sold his soul and asked for it back, to find out, his soul is infinite. But being a capitalist is intolerable. - tw
  • Carole Shepheard Rightly or wrongly the paintings themselves obscure the man and his flaws provoke the deepest of emotions. His work is one of only two that have ever moved me to tears. I will always wonder if knowing what I know now, and looking at this group again, might change my response. I don't think so.

I would hope it would change your rpesonpse. for you have more light to see with. The intent was good, the path not so. Let's be clear. Whitman was an ugly racist, I still hear his words as impt.
