Born Solomon Goldberg in London, 1916, he worked as Sydney Goldberg until around 1950, and then Simon Goldberg for the remainder of his life. Goldberg trained at St Martin’s College of Art, then the Royal College of Art, 1937–40. His teachers included John Nash, Gilbert Spencer and Edward Bawden.

Goldberg went straight from art college to serve in the Royal Artillery, 1940–1944 and the Royal Army Service Corps, 1944–1946. After the war he returned to art and taught at Hull Regional College of Arts and Crafts from 1946-1983. Goldberg was accomplished in many different forms of media, but worked mostly in lithography and oil, producing townscapes and some landscapes.

This vivid impressionist landscape by him has a great feel of movement and energy in the late summer trees. Though somewhat abstract, there’s a lot of detail and a particularly nice point of interest is the clothes hung on the washing line in the bottom corner.

The oil painting is on canvas and has been professionally framed in a Victorian style black lacquered frame.
