Bela Kadar
Bela Kadar Ink Drawing – Townscape with Figures, Horse, Chickens, Trees

circa 1930's

About the Item

Béla Kádár (Hungarian, 1877-1956) Townscape with horse and chickens signed 'KÁDÁR BÉLA' (lower right) ink and wash on paper 12 x 18 1⁄2 in. (30.5 x 47 cm.) matted to 15 x 21. Typical allegorical composition. Provenance includes Christies New York auction house, estate stamp verso. Hungarian artist Béla Kádár was born at Budapest and after his father’s death was apprenticed as an iron-turner. Attending the Budapest Academy of Fine Arts (where he won the Kohner Prize in 1910), Kádár’s early work demonstrated an affinity with the Secessionists and the Post-Impressionists. Incorporating and often synthesising stylistic elements of Cubism, Futurism, Surrealism, Constructivism and German Expressionism, Kádár’s decorative and metaphysical subject matter was often based upon Hungarian peasant culture and its ancient legends. Travelling to Berlin in 1923, Kádár began exhibiting with the highly influential Galerie Der Sturm. A meeting at the gallery with American collector Katherine Dreier lead to his work being included in the 1926 and 1928 Société Anonyme exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum in New York organised by Dreier and the artists Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp. Politically left-wing, Kadar spent a year in the Budapest ghetto (1944-45) where he managed to render almost 50 drawings about the pain and suffering he endured. However, he survived the war as one of Hungary's greatest modern artists.

  • Evening, Monotype, Abstract Figurative Art, Framed 23x23, Cattle
    Located in Houston, TX
    Evening is a1 of 1 Monotype and displays bold and bright colors to highlight this abstract figurative work of art. This is a new series of monotypes by Charlotte Seifert that she began doing in 2021. It is 1/1 on paper in a custom frame which measures 23 x 23 framed. It is protected by conservation Plexiglass. The piece of art is 1/1 and was produced in 2023. Also shown are others available on 1stdibs. The images are hand cut and attached to the monotype print. This is the only print so that is why it is a monotype. A monotype is a print, but with one major difference from other printmaking processes: the artist creates exactly one print, instead of multiples (called editions). This is due to the way a monotype is made. To make a monotype, the artist applies paint or ink directly onto the plate — which can be metal, glass, plexiglas, or even gelatin. The plate is pressed against the paper to transfer the ink. (So the finished print is a mirror image of what’s on the plate.) The printing can be done with a printing press or sometimes by hand. It’s a simple process that allows for lots of experimentation and variation. The artist can create layered prints, use objects as masks between plate and paper, or selectively apply pressure to create a trace monotype. Charlotte's work is largely abstract with landscape and nature elements incorporated into her work. Her inspiration comes from themes in literature, theology and personal history. Evoking an emotion or sense of place is Charlotte's focus rather than depicting a specific setting or rendering a certain object. Nature has become a metaphor for her for the current of constant change in life and love. This Houston based artist has been making art for most of her life. She was trained at SMU where she earned her BFA and MFA in painting. Her first art instructor was Roger Winter...
