Lajos Tihanyi’s legacy, blazing with bold color harmonies and abstract forms, comes into sharp focus in a sweeping retrospective showcasing nearly 200 works. Paintings, graphics, and personal estate items map the journey of a master of Hungarian Expressionism and the avant-garde. The show is anchored at 1014 Budapest, District I – Castle District (Várkerület), Szent György Square (Szent György tér) 2, under the Museum of Fine Arts’ copyright protection for images.
