John Logan’s Red follows the apprenticeship of Ken, a young painter, under the volatile and famous abstract expressionist Mark Rothko. He mixes paint, runs errands, and clean s brushes, but he ends up being the audience for Rothko’s beliefs about art and the world. When Rothko is commissioned to produced a grand piece of art, Ken turns the table of Rothko and his beliefs.
