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.Hungarian Art Nouveau (exhibition catalogue), 1979, Gyöngyi ÉRI, Hungarian National Gallery, The Art Institute of Chicago, published by MAGYAR HIRDETŐ, Budapest
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.https://www.britannica.com/biography/Lajos-Gulacsy
