About Béla Kádár
Born
1877
Died
1956
Nationality
Hungarian
Béla Kádár (1877–1956) was a Hungarian painter and draughtsman associated with the artistic experimentation of the early and mid-20th century. Authority records describe him as a painter of figures and figurative compositions, a gouache painter, draughtsman, and theatre-set painter. His work is commonly discussed in relation to post-Cubism and Expressionism, while broader accounts also connect him with Cubist, Constructivist, and Neo-Primitivist currents. Collectors may encounter Kádár through paintings, works on paper, and gouaches in which simplified forms, expressive line, and stylized figures are important identifying features. His international authority records help distinguish him from artists with similar names and provide stable references for cataloguing. For appraisal, the individual work remains decisive: medium, date, subject, condition, provenance, attribution, and the availability of comparable public sales should all be reviewed together.

Common works and media
Commonly encountered categories include paintings, gouaches, drawings, and other works on paper, with figurative subjects and compositions appearing in authority descriptions. Theatre-related design work is also part of the documented occupational profile. Each object should be assessed independently for medium, support, dimensions, date, condition, attribution, provenance, and relationship to securely documented examples.
Market and appraisal context
Kádár works encountered in auction and appraisal settings may include paintings, gouaches, and drawings. Appraisal depends on the specific medium and support, the subject and composition, date, condition, provenance, attribution, and the quality of comparable public auction records. Works associated with the artist’s post-Cubist or Expressionist contexts may require careful comparison with documented examples rather than broad stylistic assumptions. The collected research pack confirms an active Appraisily artist record but does not include individual lot details, realized prices, dimensions, or condition reports. Any valuation should therefore remain object-specific and evidence-led, with uncertainty stated when documentation or comparables are limited.

Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack does not provide individual lot records, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, or provenance details.
- Public authority sources conflict on the death year: several records use 1956, while VIAF also displays a Hungarian painter record dated 1877-1955 and Art UK uses 1877-1955.
- Auction value depends on the specific work and its documentation; no price prediction is made here.
