Abstract
"What do you see?" Famed abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko asks his young assistant, Ken, the loaded question: What's art? And who gets to decide, anyway? It's 1958, and Rothko has just been offered the biggest commission in the history of modern art. He and Ken work feverishly in his New York studio – until Ken begins to realize his answers to those fundamental questions about art are very different than his mentor's.

Ken: Chris Chewning
