Laszlo Kadlacsik

 1925-1989

Hungarian born artist found his Acampo, California farm both a place of comfort and inspiration.  For 600 years the Kadlacsik family occupied their native land Szeged, Hungary.  In 1930 at the age of five, Laszlo drew his first picture, a novice childish attempt at best. 

Finishing High School and attending Industrial Art School, Kadlacsik gained recognition as a graphic and decorative folk artist.  For two years he worked closely with Hungarian Masters Alexander Molnar and Julius Bozzo.  Moving to Budapest and the Fine Art Academy, Laszlo Kadlacsik became a favorite student of internationally acclaimed Emil Novotny.

After the surrender of Germany, Hungary like so many European nations never quite escaped the influence of the Soviets.  Ordered by his government to design and execute works of art for then Russian Premier Joseph Stalin.  Kadlacsik’s works are still on view in Moscow museums.
