A museum description of a painting reading: "Mark Rothko 1903-1970 Born Daugavpils, Latvia, lived Daugavpils, Portland (Oregon), New York Untitled c.1950-2 Oil paint on canvas North American artist Mark Rothko greatly admired Turner. He famously remarked in 1966: 'This man Turner, he learnt a lot from me'. The works in this room - unfinished paintings from late in Turner's life - appealed to Rothko. Late in his own career, he created paintings like this one which use rectangles of intense colour to convey emotion. In 1969 Rothko gave a group of paintings to Tate, hoping they would be displayed near those of Turner."
