GULÁCSY, Lajos
(1882, Budapest - 1932, Budapest)

Chevalier aux Roses

1914
Oil on canvas, 170 x 103 cm
Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest

When Gulácsy showed signs of derangement, he tended to repaint and transform some of his early works. Rococo Concerto (1913), for example, which he had executed in the spirit of Watteau, was cut into three. The centre of the picture was discarded, and the two remaining parts became Chevalier aux Roses (1914) and the Opium Smoker's Dream (1913-18).
