Enjoy the art and check out all the auctions. This is the second of the three Hungarian paintings. This is an original Béla Kádár oil on board of a blonde nude with her hands around her knees. It is signed Kádár Béla in the bottom right corner. This is framed in a custom hand made frame, that has been suggested may have been done by the artist's own hand, the frame is non symetrical free form, much like his artwork. On the back it has a modern label, we think from when it came to the States. There is a remnant of an old label also that the only word we can make out on is Budapest. There are line rubs to the painting, one on her left upper arm and another just to the left of her right breast, going down at an angle. There are also a couple of small spots of paint loss right near the edge at the top and near the right side. The frame and the board the painting are on are both slightly warped with age. BUT THIS IS AN AMAZING PAINTING!! It measures approx. 31 3/4" x 24" for the art, framed approx. 40" x 32" at the widest points. We found the following bio on AskArt: Béla Kádár 1877-1956 Born in Budapest, he became a distinctive modernist painter whose career spanned several decades. Kádár began his studies in 1896, he travel to Paris and Munich. He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest and won the Kohner prize in 1910. Kádár's early works, which he began exhibiting in 1918, showed the influence of the Secessionists and Post-impressionists. In 1923 he exhibited with his friend Hugo Scheiber in Berlin at Walden's Der Sturm Gallery; 57 of his works were shown. Der Sturm was one of the most important avant-garde galleries in Europe, Kádár continued to exhibit there for several years. Kádár traveled to the United States and stayed for a year. He exhibited with the Société Anonyme at the Brooklyn Museum. In 1929 he returned to Budapest to exhibit his works in his home country. Kádár was personal friends with Chagall, Picasso, Kandinsky and Kokoschka. Like his contemporaries his style evolved through the decades of the 20th century. Always a modernist, his works have elements of Cubism, Futurism, Neo-Primitivism, Constructivism, and Expressionism. His subjects range from Hungarian legends,metaphysical, portraits, and fanciful decorative themes. Kádár's place in the history of Modern Art has been assured by the recent publication of two books on his life and works. Estimated shipping weight, (packaged)... read more
