Albert Wainwright ... Albert Wainwright (1898 - 1943) is one of Britain's underestimated artists from the Twenties and Thirties. His homosexuality and passion was for young men. For this reason much of his works were destroyed on Albert's death by his family. Wainwright was an artist whose talent was once compared favourably with that of his school friend Henry Moore. Wainwright remains little known today and his work is only now slowly garnering an appreciative audience and being noticed by galleries, collectors.
