Gyula Gulyás

Gyula Gulyás (1944–2008) emerged in the 1970s as a sculptor, regularly participating in the Balatonboglár Chapel Exhibitions and the Villány artists’ colony.

The Cobblestone Is the Weapon of the Proletariat: this is the title of Russian artist Ivan Shadr’s 1927 sculpture, whose reproduction was widely known in the Eastern Bloc, and which was held as a textbook example of Socialist Realism and propaganda art in the 1950s.

Gyula Gulyás (1944, Miskolc–2008, Budapest) began his career in the 1960s. His neo-constructivist works were organically connected to the emerging Hungarian neo-avant-garde, which took its starting point from Lajos Kassák’s constructivism.
