Did you know? Mikuláš Galanda is considered one of the most important figures in 20th-century Slovak art. He, along with Ľudovít Fulla, co-authored a manifesto in 1932 that laid the foundations for modern Slovak art. They advocated for a move away from traditional academic styles and towards a more expressive and modern approach, incorporating elements of European avant-garde movements. This manifesto had a profound impact on the development of Slovak art and solidified Galanda's legacy as a key innovator.
