Fedir Manailo (Hungarian: Manajló Tivadar; Ukrainian: Федір Манайло, 1910–1978) was an artist of mixed Hungarian, Rusyn and Ukrainian ethnicity from Zakarpattia Oblast, influenced by the expressionist movement. The territory of today's Zakarpattia Oblast at that time part of Austria-Hungary, later part of Czechoslovakia and Hungary until 1945.
Manailo studied at the Art and Technical School in Prague with Brunner. He visited France in 1930, traveling to Paris, Marseilles and Lyon, France. From 1937 to 1945 he taught decorative art at the Uzhhorod Trade School, before moving on to lecture at the Uzhhorod Art School.
After the return of Kárpátalja to Hungary, Manajló's art became the most highly acclaimed after Erdélyi's in the kingdom.[1]
Starting from the 1940s, Manailo painted genre scenes of the Zakarpattia.[2]
His son, János/Iván Manajló and grandson, András Manajló, became similarly renowned painters. The family is currently living in Hungary.
