Artist(1888 - 1957)
Apati-Abkarovics Bela
This artist's journey is truly remarkable. Starting his artistic education under the tutelage of Károly Ferenczy at the Budapest Academy of Fine Arts, he later joined the Nagybánya artist colony in 1911. There, he collaborated with István Réti and János Thorma. Until 1927, he was actively involved in the Nagybánya art scene, after which he spent several years working in Munkács. However, it was in the 1930s that he settled permanently in Szentendre. His contributions to various art associations, including the Carpathian Artists' Association and the Society of Hungarian Painters, demonstrate his commitment to the artistic community. As an exhibiting artist from the 1920s, he showcased his work in prestigious exhibitions such as the Nagybánya Jubilee Exhibition in 1924 and the Nagybánya Painters Group Exhibition in 1925 and 1927. Following his affiliation with the Szentendre artist colony, he participated in group exhibitions alongside other local artists starting from 1945. His artistic legacy was further celebrated with a comprehensive exhibition of his works in Szentendre in 1955. Even after his passing, his influence endured, with a memorial exhibition held in 1967 at the Ferenczy Museum in Szentendre. Today, his artworks are cherished possessions of esteemed institutions such as the Hungarian National Gallery, the Munkács Museum, and the Nagyvárad Museum.
