200 Sk 2002 - Ľudovít Fulla

Ludovit Fulla (27.2.1902 - 21.4.1980) - painter, graphic artist, illustrator, stage designer, and fine-arts teacher, is one of the most important representatives of Slovak fine arts of the 20th century. Through his work, he contributed significantly to the formation of Slovak modern painting. Fulla's artistic style is marked by his illustrative poetry based on flat decorative effects, and his knowledge of folk art, east-Slavic icons, and modern art in general. He participated in several international exhibitions and contributed greatly to making Slovak art better known abroad. He has been awarded several Slovak and international prizes. His painting "Song and Work" was awarded the Grand Prix at the 1937 World Exhibition in Paris; it served as a model for the Gobelin tapestry that was granted a gold medal at the World Exhibition EXPO 58 in Brussels. He acquired an international reputation for his avant-garde stage designs and for his illustrations of books for children and young people. The Ruzomberok Ludovit Fulla Gallery, part of the Slovak National Gallery, has a permanent exhibition of his works.
