Will Roberts

Will Roberts

Will Roberts (1907 - March 11, 2000), was a Modern painter from Wales.

Roberts was born in Ruabon, Denbighshire, the son of a railwayman of the Great Western Railway. The family moved to Neath in Glamorgan in 1918 and he studied at Swansea School of Art. In 1962, he won the Byng-Stamper Prize for landscape painting, judged by Sir Kenneth Clark. In 1992 he was awarded an honorary Fellowship by University College, Swansea, and in 1994 a retrospective exhibition of his work was the centrepiece of the arts exhibit at the National Eisteddfod of Wales.

He died in Neath, where his charcoal drawing of the Stations of the Cross may be seen in St David's Church. He is now widely acknowledged as one of Wales's modern masters and some of his most striking works are of Welsh industrial landscapes.
