Adalbert Erdeli

Adalbert Erdeli (Hungarian: Béla Erdélyi; Ukrainian: Адальберт Ерделі; May 25, 1891 - September 19, 1955) was a Ukrainian and Hungarian painter and writer, one of the main figures of midcentury Transcarpathian art.

Béla Erdélyi

Erdeli was born in Kelemenfalva,[1] Austria-Hungary (today Zahattia in Ukraine). He studied at the Budapest Academy of Arts from 1911 through 1915, then taught in Mukachevo and Uzhhorod, when Transcarpathia already became part of Czechoslovakia.[2]

Along with fellow Budapest graduate and World War I veteran József Boksai, Erdelyi founded an art school in 1927, which eventually evolved into the Uzhhorod State Arts and Crafts College (Czech: Užhorodské státní vysoké školy uměleckoprůmyslové, Hungarian: Kárpátaljai Képzőművészek Egyesülete). That institution is now the Transcarpathian Art Institute. Erdelyi and Boksay are among the primary figures of the Transcarpathian stylistic school.

Among his students was Fedir Manailo. He died in Uzhhorod.
