Robert Wilbert was a contemporary American figurative painter. He was born in Chicago and later relocated to Detroit, where he taught painting at Wayne State University for 38 years. He exhibited widely and with success and gained recognition as an influential figure within Detroit's Cass Corridor, alongside artists, such as Ellen Phelan, Gordon Newton and Nancy Mitchnick. Wilbert attended the University of Illinois, where he received his bachelor of fine arts (1951) and masters of fine arts (1954) degrees. Before teaching at Wayne State University, Wilbert also taught at Flint Institute of the Arts, in Michigan. He was commissioned by the State of Michigan to design the first commemorative state postage stamp, honoring the 150th anniversary of Michigan statehood. Wilbert's work is part of the permanent collection at the Detroit Institute of Arts and is also held in the Saginaw Museum, in Michigan, the South Bend Art Center, in Indiana, the Kalanazoo Art Center (Michigan), Macomb County Community College, the City of Warren (Michigan) and Wayne State University. He was the recipient of numerous awards, including the 4th Biennial Michigan Regional Award from the South Bend Art Center (1966) and the Werbe Award from the “57th Exhibition of Michigan Artists”, at the Detroit Institute of Art (1969).
