Biography
He was active as an artist, sculptor, painter and printmaker from 1918 until his death in 1940.
Kéléty married Hélène Grün Kéléty, daughter of the Russian painter Maurice Grün.
At the end of the First World War, he emigrated to France, where he became a pupil of the Hungarian painter and engraver Imre Karoly Simay in Toulouse. He then studied in Paris. In his works, he often depicts animals as well as the theme of childhood. He also produced chryselephantine busts and statuettes depicting dancers and mythological figures in the Art Deco style. His favorite materials are bronze, ivory, marble, and ceramics.
In the interwar period, he exhibited several times at the Salon de la Société des Artistes Français in Paris. In 1927, he presented a terracotta bust. In 1928 and 1930, he presented bronze and ivory figurines. These are made by Art Editor Arthur Goldscheider. At the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, his work was presented at both Goldscheider's and Edmond Etling's stands. At the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1937, he presented sculptures made and adapted by Jules Lehmann's Etling and Les Neveux foundries. It also features animal sculptures made by Mr. Ollier.
Kéléty also creates everyday objects in the art deco style, such as electric lamps, ashtrays and incense burners.
In 1939, Kéléty advertised for drawing classes given at 20 rue Ernest Cresson, Paris
