John Robinson (1929-2009) studied art in Melbourne and later in Europe. In the 1970's he was exhibiting work in a realist style with elements of the surreal. Of his works appearing in auction records, a top price of $2640 was paid in 2005 for 'Cave of the Cosmic Winds' which is a painting similar in style to the one offered, but more decidedly surreal.
