Stephen Gilbert, the artist who was celebrated on the Continent for his
postwar metaphors for human conflict, died 12 January, 2007. He was
aged 96. He was perhaps the only British artist to be fully embraced by
the Parisian avant-garde. As one of the very few British artists to
find fame and fortune abroad, his long and innovative career has been
somewhat overlooked in Britain.

He was born in 1910 in Fife, the grandson of Sir Alfred Gilbert, the
celebrated Victorian Art Nouveau sculptor of "Eros" (more
accurately, the Angel of Christian Charity) in Piccadilly. He gained a
scholarship in architecture to the Slade School of Fine Art in London
in 1929 where he met the painter Roger Hilton who would become a
lifelong friend.
