The Arts Channel should have merits far more important than just being cheap.

Nice art though.

if its for the arts channel i think the level of opportunity outways this execution.....nicely written and quite nice looking but sometimes different isn't great.....but i don't think it is bad by any stretch.

I really like this. The copy is compelling and interesting. The visual and layout are a work of art in their own right.

While I applaud the tone achieved by the copy, I feel this work only exploits Rothko and is in dreadfully poor taste.
It diminishes his contribution and our loss of his genius. No suicide should be used this way.

"Let us prove to the world that good taste, good art, and good writing can be good selling." ---William Bernbach
