Michael Gilbery was born as Goldberg in London on 18 October, 1913. After leaving school, he gained a scholarship to St Martin's School of Art and later at the Royal College of Art where he studied under the likes of Roland Vivian Pitchforth, Sir William Rothenstein and Gilbert Spencer. Michael first gained recognition when, at the age of 17, his portrait of his father was hung at the Royal Academy of Arts and was hailed a triumph by a number of leading critics. His talent for portraiture was also noted during his time at the Royal College of Art. Percy Horton, another of his tutors, wrote that, “Mr Goldberg is an able draughtsman and a powerful and solid painter” and that “perhaps Mr Goldberg's chief ability, however, lies in the direction of portraiture where he has shown real accomplishment — a facility for obtaining a likeness combined with lively and sympathetic handling.” After leaving college, Gilbery was commissioned to paint The Royal Historic Cavalcade for George VI's coronation. The murals covered the department store Swears and Wells and included a 50-ft centrepiece of St George and the Dragon, described in the press at the time as “one of the sensations of the Coronation.” Gilbery also gained recognition for his Jewish scenes, some of which were exhibited at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1932. Throughout his life, he made a living from portrait commissions but continued exhibiting at the Royal Academy of Arts, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the New English Art Club, among others. Some of his work is also in the permanent collection of the Tel Aviv Museum.
