What is The Temptation of Saint Anthony

The Temptation of Saint Anthony is the title of a minimalist painting created by Rabo Karabekian. The painting is twenty feet wide by sixteen feet high and features a field colored 'Hawaiian Avacado' with a single vertical stripe of day-glo orange reflecting tape. The painting was purchased by the Mildred Barry Memorial Center for the Arts for fifty thousand dollars. Rabo explains that the painting signifies a conquering intelligence, symbolized by the orange stripe, amidst the confusion and angst of life, symbolized by the green field. A black-and-white representation of the painting is rendered in Chapter 19, p. 207.
