Active for over four decades, during which time his style changed from realist through impressionist to post-impressionist, Adolf Fényes was held in especially high regard by those Hungarian artists at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries who were committed to modernism. On the 80th anniversary of his death, the Hungarian National Gallery highlights distinctive periods in the career of Adolf Fényes, whose oeuvre is marked by a diversity of styles and an extremely wide range of subjects. Powerful, monumental naturalist compositions characterized the artist’s early style before 1905, when sunlit, fresh landscapes, small-town streets and village yards started to appear in his paintings, especially those he made in Kecskemét and Szolnok. The period that emerged in the early 1910s became one of the most distinctive in his art, with still lifes, rooms of petit bourgeois homes and interior scenes of churches and palaces. The exhibition is on view between 10 October 2025 and 11 January 2026.
