Williamson Art Gallery holds talks about exiled artist Albert Lipczinski

Sep 21 2011 by Laura Davis, Birkenhead News

A SERIES of talks about the exiled artist Albert Lipczinski is being held at the Williamson Art Gallery, in Birkenhead.

The painter arrived in Liverpool in the 1890s, becoming a member of the Bohemian artist set and living in a disused school building on the corner of Roscoe and Back Knight Streets.

But he was incarcerated during World War I and eventually returned to Poland.

There, he carried on painting into his ninth decade.

The talks supplement an exhibition of his work, held at the Williamson until October 2.
