Description

Gedeon Gerlóczy played an important role in Hungarian architecture between the two Wars. Simultaneously with his flourishing career, he brought Csontváry's paintings to life. In 1919, he finds them, falls in love with the paintings, and buys them from the painter's cousin. For 56 years, he worked hard to preserve them and makes the oeuvre known. We get to know his career, and at the same time the painter comes to life.
