Roberts, Kenneth

1932 – 1995

"Curiously Bill [Littlejohn] never had a reputation as a draughtsman and avoided painting portraits. The drawings are a surprise particularly the one of a young man in an overcoat which is excellent. The subject on the same sheet could be a mutual friend Kenneth Roberts (1932-1995) who was a very talented painter, again from Dundee Art College and was head of the art department at Harris Academy. Ken was at art school 1950-1955 and with Bill’s dates being 1946-1950 this particular portrait could have been drawn after Bill’s national service in the 1950s." (information from a close friend of W H Littlejohn RSA, contained in an e-mail to RSA Documentation Officer, 2014-12-02)
