Curia

Artist's bedroom

The artist's bedroom, like all the living quarters, retains the artist's original furnishings. The paintings on the walls are the bearers of more intimate memories: she summarises her personal recollections, her travels, and her relationships.

His nearly two decades in Paris ended with the First World War when he moved home and settled in Somogytúr. The atmosphere of rural life and the fertile environment made him even more closely intertwined with village life. The range of his themes did not change, but rather broadened. He depicts not only festive moments but also the people of the village, the peasants, in their arduous work. In his landscapes, he captured the countryside of his homeland in all seasons, and the winter scenes of the village, depicted with tender emotion, are particularly attractive.

Kunffy Lajos: Cabbage hoers

His art has never been detached from reality and is characterized by infinite diligence and conscientious work. His pictures are always based on objective drawing. In his works, he sought to reproduce what he saw in a primary way and with intention. In his later works, especially his landscapes and those created during his travels abroad with an impressionist freshness, drawing no longer plays a dominant role, in which color and stain become predominant. The artist received stimulating impulses, traveling to Italy, Sicily, Tunis, and Spain. He became acquainted with their natural endowments. Detailing is no longer present in his paintings, Károly Lyka writes: "Colour is no longer the skin of objects, but a phenomenon".
