Pál Lipták studied at the Open School of Fine Arts in Békéscsaba. However, he only began studying painting in his twenties. We can say that he was self educated painter since his first experiments with painting were influenced by his own ways of understanding art. He was an artist to walk his own path.

The artist, Pál Lipták who left this world a year ago changed his artistic style towards the end of his career. We wish to show this change, how his figural and expressive painting turned into expression. We can reconstruct the trend along which Pál Lipták reached the philosophical non-figurative art starting from his socially sensitive painting. The change toward the end of the eighties was not only a temporary change but the end of a process. It was a road on which he produced "The Soul Asks to Make Account" (1978), the "Sun is Shining among Promises" and "Where does King David Play the Harp?" (1987). The change came from the liveliness of his spirit.

The exhibition leads and initiates into the history of his motifs via nineteen of his paintings. In addition, an early self-portrait and invitations to former displays make the material more special.

In 2007, a jubilee exhibition was to be opened at the Jankay Collection and the Kortárs Art Gallery on the 85th birthday of the artist. Unfortunately it was never opened due to his death. However, we wish to honour the artist Pál Lipták with this present display. Our intention is to illustrate is excellent personality and art.
