The “in the red” comment is in reference to painters like Picasso who went through periods where there work was primarily done in monotones; blue period, yellow period, etc.
In an art history class I took at Wright State: Instructor asks,“What was the artist thinking when he painted this?”Student: ""I hope I get enough for this painting to pay rent!!"

“In the red” probably refers to his being in debt. In accounting, red is bad, black is good.

“Necessity is the mother of invention” being in the red inspires him to come up with something to paint to sell…
