Modern architecture started at the beginning of the 20th century, and Gedeon Gerlóczy (1895-1975) became an architect at this exciting time of change. Gerlóczy was a significant representative of the architecture of the interwar period especially in creating modern hospital buildings. He was a lecturer of history of architecture and urban aesthetics at Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts. As a young architect, driven by inspiration, he bought and thus saved much of Csontváry’s oeuvre and worked for more than 55 years to preserve these paintings.
