Lajos Gulacsy was a painter of mysterious fairy-tale moods and strange

dream scenarios. He was the incomparable visionary of the past, whose painterly imagination and rendering ability had much more in common with

the most up-to-date present, than with old art piled up in museums. This startlingly talented artist, like Csontvary, was a precursor of the visionary

style which now seems to be the rage.
