Robert Smith's review of the play 'Red', about Mark Rothko discusses more than the play, she talks about the relationship between artists, assistants, and critics in the studio. Although it is obvious Smith is not a fan of the play because of the dialogue, she makes it clear that the important part for her is the studio and the silent moments in the play that accurately reflect the interactions she was a part of when she did studio visits. In describing her experience in visiting artists' studios she says:
"And for the most part they were quiet, slow, often awkward experiences, during which I started to learn the relationship between seeing and articulating what I saw, and the basic fact that art takes time."
"An artist made this place called a studio and then used it to make this thing called art that no one knew was missing or needed until it existed."
