Lajos Gulácsy

Lajos Gulácsy was a Hungarian painter with works collected by the Hungarian National Gallery. Heavily influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites, his rather dreamlike work is associated with Art Nouveau and Symbolism, but can also be considered a prelude to Surrealism.
He was educated at the Hungarian Royal Drawing School in Budapest. He was traumatised by World War One and incarcerated in a psychiatric institution in Lipótmező from 1917 until his death. He went completely blind in 1924.
