Est: £3,000 - £5,000
§ Will Roberts (Welsh 1907-2000) Potato Field signed, titled and dated '1983' to the reverse oil on canvas 61 x 76cm Footnote: Provenance With 20th century Gallery, London With John Davies Gallery, Stow-on-the-Wold, where acquired by the present owner in 2000 Private collection, Mallorca Exhibited London, The Royal Academy, Summer Exhibition , 1983 One of the founding members of the 56 Group Wales who sought to promote Welsh Modernist Art, Will Roberts is remembered for his expressionistic depictions of Welsh agricultural, industrial and domestic life. Born in 1907 in Ruabon, Denbighshire, Roberts demonstrated an aptitude for drawing from an early age. From 1928 until 1932, Roberts took part-time classes at the Swansea School of Art, under the tutelage of William Grant Murray. The most seismic event of his career, however, came several years later when, in 1945, he met Polish artist, Josef Herman, who was living in nearby Ystradgynlais, and whose influence on his work cannot be understated. The present work, rendered in dark, earthy tones and depicting sturdy, stooped figures, is typical of Roberts broader artistic output.
