Description
Livia Kádár, nee Mihaly, was a Hungarian painter and printmaker who mostly made small etchings. She is known for imagery based on Christian and medieval legends as well as allegorical figures in a style allied to Jugendstil and Symbolism. She received her early training in Budapest. In 1909 she traveled to Paris, then Algiers, then Belgium. After World War I, she moved with her husband back to Paris. In the mid 1920s, she exhibited her works in London and in Paris, including the Salon, where she was a member. She also illustrated books, including a collection of fairy tales written in English. After 1928, she lived in the United States and exhibited in major cities around the country. Today her works are in the collections of the British Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Condition: Generally very good with the usual overall light toning and wear. Slightly greater toning in outer margins from former matting now rematted out.
