Landscape by James Robertson (1931-2010) depicts an abstract scene of possible rocks, captured with thick sweeps of grey oil paint interspersed by vibrant red and orange colour. In the distance, a black circle with a yellow sweep of paint as highlight draws the viewer's eye through guided perspective lines in the sky of black paint against rich blue colour. The sides of the piece also contain rich colour of yellow and blue with two thick lines of orange colour, creating this either rocky or seaside landscape. 

This piece is characteristic of the Vorticist movement, which Robertson was known to be part of, which combined cubist elements with a machine-like component through harsh lines and contrasting colours. The guided perspective lines could be seen as fitting the harsh line component, and the vibrant red, yellow, and orange colours throughout the work certainly create contrast against the grey and blue. These elements allow Robertson to create an abstractly captured landscape.
