I think the meaning is:

our window on the world is capitalism (right half of painting) - business shapes the way the world looks, its streets, shops, opportunities and desires. And it's inescapable. If you look outside the world of capitalism (left side of painting), your focus is drawn to the central figure - the motivations of men (and woman) in pursuit of advantage and opportunity.

Not sure how accurate this is but I find it satisfying.

Importance of painting to a room?

Painting a room can personalize the space. Paint can make a room appear larger, smaller, or brighter, depending on the color you select. Just changing an accent wall will make a big difference. If you are a renter, you will have to check with the landlord before painting. If painting is not an option, consider installing a repositionable, removable wallcovering which is reusable. That make installation easier: no mess of paste, easy alignment during installation, no residue left behind when removed, and it's cleanable. You can also remove it, replace the backing sheet, roll it up and take it with you to use in another dwelling. You may want to consider all of these attributes before deciding between paint or the wallcovering.
