Some of Roberts' most striking works are of Welsh landscapes and he is now widely acknowledged as one of Wales's modern masters. In 1962, Roberts won the Byng-Stamper Prize for landscape painting, judged by Sir Kenneth Clark, for Farm at Cimla which was acquired by the National Museum of Wales. 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.
In 1998, the National Library of Wales accepted a donation of 600 drawings from Roberts. He was one of the original members of the arts group 56 Group Wales, which set out to raise the profile of modern Welsh art. Roberts died in Neath, where his charcoal drawings of the Stations of the Cross may be seen in St David's Church. A memorial exhibition of drawings and some paintings was shown at the National Library of Wales in 2001.
