About the Item

Signed lower right, 'Kunffy' for Lajos Kunffy (Hungarian, 1869-1962); additionally signed, verso, on stretcher bar and inscribed, 'Somogyi' with partial label. A winter landscape showing a view of a town in the county of Somogyi, Hungary. Born in Hungary, Lajos Kunffy studied law in Budapest while training as an artist at the Mintarajziskola and under Pál Vágó. In 1890, he furthered his studies at Simon Hollósy's painting school in Munich, followed, in 1991, by six months at the Munich Academy. Later that year, he enrolled at the Académie Julian in Paris, graduating in 1894. Kunffy exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1894 and also at the 1900 Millennium Exhibition in Budapest. After also successfully exhibiting at the Kunsthalle in Budapest in 1900, he married pianist Ella Tiller in 1901 and moved to Paris for twelve years. He was elected a jury member of the Salon d'Automne in 1903 and received the French Legion of Honor in 1905. A major solo exhibition at the Georges Petit Gallery in Paris followed in 1913. Returning to Hungary, Kunffy exhibited at the National Salon in 1924 and became vice president of the Fine Arts Association. He exhibited independently in Kaposvár in 1949 and 1952, and with Oszkár Glatz at the Ernst Museum in Budapest in 1953. A solo exhibition at the Rippl-Rónai Museum followed in 1956, and his final major exhibition was mounted at the Ernst Museum in 1960. Reference: E.
