Hungarian, 1882–1932

Lajos Gulácsy was a Hungarian Post-Impressionism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Hungarian National Gallery. Lajos Gulácsy was born in Budapest.

Lajos Gulácsy (12 October 1882 – 21 February 1932) 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.
