From early April, the Hungarian National Gallery presents an exhibition of the life and work of Lajos Gulácsy, one of the most peculiar figures of twentieth-century Hungarian art. The large-scale show of some two hundred works, including eighty-four paintings, reveals the diversity of Gulácsy's profound art through new perspectives.

Besides the many well-known masterpieces, visitors can see several works that have been recently attributed to the artist, as well as ones that had hitherto not been exhibited. The paintings, drawings, and illustrations are complemented by some of Gulácsy's manuscripts, photographs taken of him, and characteristic works by his contemporaries. The exhibition provides a more comprehensive picture than ever before of Gulácsy's oeuvre, who was one of the most original artists of the turn of the century and early modernism in Hungary.

Our exhibition, organised within the framework of the Bartók Spring International Art Weeks, presents Gulácsy's colourful oeuvre, its connections with the art of the past and the present, and its links to his contemporaries in several sections. The artist's self-portraits, his home, Italy, and the artistic periods he evoked are shown in separate chapters, and so are his theatrical and literary connections, his illustrations, and his drawings of Na'Conxypan as well as the last period of his oeuvre with images of the war.
