Tihanyi said he was interested only in composing portraits which was accompanied by a unique human sensibility, sympathy and empathy. It was exactly Lajos Fülep, an art philosopher, who was a friend of the Eights, said that Tihanyi was an orthodox follower of Cézanne, and that he spontaneously integrated elements of styles and selects views according to his pictorial principles. He can also be linked to Kokoschka's dramatic expressionism. Tihanyi integrated lessons of various isms and deformed figures in cuboexpressionism for the sake of his pictorial rhythm. He destorts in order to balance homogeneous structure. Unlike his contemporaries, Lajos Fülep appreciated Tihanyi's art which he expressed in his critique on "Self-Portrait".
