Ľudovít Fulla (27 February 1902,

art teacher.[2] He is considered one of the most important figures of Slovak creative art in the 20th century.[3]

Style

Fulla's work was fundamentally important for the establishment of Slovak

modernist milieu. In his works, the principles of Wassily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee can be found. In the only manifesto of Slovak modernists, he and his friend Mikuláš Galanda
formulated a firm stance in their attempt of a mixture of styles. Fulla was recognised for generations for his bright red, orange and yellow. This may have played off the folk iconography always present in his works, or may have been a further admixture of artistic period styles.
