A 1974 oil on canvas painting by the American artist Robert Berkshire (1932-2010). Titled Homage to Turner II, this predominantly yellow work is an homage to the iconic yellow that the English Romantic artist J.M.W. Turner used in many of his paintings. Squares, arrows, circles, and x-shaped designs float amidst the yellow and colorful pastel mist in this abstract work. Signed, dated, and titled to the verso, the painting is displayed in a brown wooden frame.
