Lot 85

Description

Béla Kádár, 
Hungarian 1877–1956 - 

Reclining nude (with 'Figure studies' on the reverse); 

watercolour and pencil on paper, signed lower right 'Kádár Béla', 18.5 x 20.4 cm (ARR) 

Note: 
This sensual work demonstrates Hungarian artist Béla Kádár’s unique style, combining a cubist approach to form with an expressionist sense of colour. 

Heavily influenced by Hungarian folklore, Kádár became a distinctive voice in Modernist art, exhibiting at the celebrated Der Strum Gallery in Berlin in the 1920s, alongside Oscar Kokoschka, Paul Klee and fellow Jewish artist Marc Chagall. He would also be included as part of a pioneering show at the Brooklyn Museum, New York, in 1928, selected by Man Ray and Duchamp.
