After neos had first appeared, conflicts between artists of the Nagybánya school holding different views became stronger and stronger. Of the generation which founded the art school, it was Béla Iványi Grünwald who followed changes in styles and supported the young generation appearing in 1906 (Landscape of Nagybánya with Gutin, 1906). When conflicts became deeper, he accepted the invitation of the town Kecskemét to establish an art school there with artists of the younger generation and his pupils (Vilmos Perlrott-Csaba, Géza Bornemisza). They moved to Kecskemét in 1911-12 where several major avant-garde artists and pupils of the Art Academy worked, too (Béla Uitz, Lajos Kassák, János Kmetty: Kecskemét, 1912).
