Gusztáv Kelety

Gusztáv Frigyes Kelety, originally Klette (13 December 1834, in Pozsony – 2 September 1902, in Budapest) was a Hungarian painter, graphic artist and art critic.

Rather than follow his father's profession, Gusztáv originally trained in Vienna to be a lawyer, although he also took lessons from Carl Rahl.

[2] In 1871, Baron Eötvös, who was then the Minister of Education, sent Kelety on a study tour to investigate how art instruction was conducted in other countries.

He travelled to France, Belgium and Germany and produced a report titled The Function of Art Education in Our Country and Abroad, which recommended that a uniform system be established; including a "pre-art" school.

[2] From the mid-1860s, he wrote art reviews of a mostly conservative nature, although he was among the first to notice the talents of many painters who later became well-known, such as István Nagy, Tivadar Kosztka Csontváry, Mihály Munkácsy and Pál Szinyei Merse.
