Thanks to Raimund: Mark Rothko dramatised and Nightwatching again

This morning Raimund treated me with the following excerpt from a dramatisation of Mark Rothko as broadcast on the BBC...



What really caught my eye was the fact that here Allan Corduner's Mark Rothko differs so much from the portrayal of Rembrandt as done by Martin Freeman. Whereas Martin Freeman portrayed a human being still alive and surely not a figure of art history, Mark Rothko appears to be almost absorbed by being already some historic person, i e he has taken one decision and laments the fact that there is apparently no way back for him. He is Mark Rothko and he has to face all these people, i e gallerists, critics etc, and even more serve all of them. Apparently he has to stick to this one road he has chosen till the, in his case bitter, end. Rembrandt, certainly thanks to the wonderful Martin Freeman's decision to portray him as someone real, in Nightwatching on the other hand is much more alive and actively takes decisions, even such that would get him into big trouble with all the people he like Rothko depends upon. Maybe just maybe this is also the really big difference between the actual Rembrandt and the actual Rothko...Maybe in today's world artists do get more thoroughly corrupted by the art business. Thanks Raimund
