Horváth János: Kunffy Lajos - A somogytúri Kunffy Emlékmúzeum katalógusa (Kaposvár, 2005)

His first showing in Paris was at the Salon des Artistes Francais, with a work entitled The Tea Party And in that very same year he was exhibited here at home in the Műcsarnok. Also in 1894, in the Salon of the Fields of Mars, ripl-Ronai succeeded with the most modern artistic styles of the times. Kunffy was not attracted by the decorative linear representations of Art Nouveau. Rather, he began his painting career following in the footsteps of Munkácsy who then lived in Paris. He was admitted to the master's atelier as well as to his salon. He was impressed by Munkacsy's strildng whites that emerged from his dark tones. Kunffy also began to pay court to the salon-accepted fashion of plein-air painting. Kunffy Lajos 190l-ben. Fotó: Winkle Nándor, Budapest. 65
