SÁMUEL, Kornél
(1883, Szilágykövesd - 1914, Uzsok)



Sculptor. He was a pupil of Lajos Mátrai at the School of Applied Arts, and that of Balthasar Schmitt in Munich from 1905. His works were exhibited in the Kustverein in 190. On his return to Hungary in 1908, he worked in the wokshop of Ede Telcs. He was awarded for the statue "Female Nude" in 1909.

He went to Italy on a study-trip in 1911. His works ("Eve", "Narcissus", and "David", etc.) with a delicate rhythm and lyrical approach anticipated a promising sculptor. He was the first victim of Hungarian art in World War I.
