Two panels, nearly thirteen feet across. Yellow loop-headed figures hold hands in a ring around a pink cat-rabbit vessel, the circle taken from Matisse’s The Dance. A snake feeds a heart into its mouth. In the flowers and over Mount Fuji, Tanaka has lettered Money is Coming and Our Future is Amazing!! Paradise, temptation, and the money-centered world in one picture.
This is the large Capitalism wall — celebration with an undercurrent of unease. It is for the collector who already knows money is the weather we live in, and still wants the room to feel like a dance. It needs a long wall. It rewards standing back.
