Delicate expressionism, a decorative inclination to folk art and an abstract summarizing are features which characterize Béla Kádár's art. His style developed indipendently of Hungarian art. It can be linked to Hungarian avantgarde in colours, composition, elements of form and motifs recalling Hungarian folk lore. "Mother with Child" is a peculiar interpretation of the symbol Madonna in a city surroundings. The artist seems to have been engaged in problems of composition: the relationship between the mystic mother of god and modern architecure, the harmony between surrealistic and abstract portrayal, and the portrayal of forms in space reduced to planes with the portrayal of time and space. The picture is dominated by emotions: the mother with her child in a sea of houses in an alienated city with an animal symbolizing faithfulness and a sense of life.The underlying ideas are humanity and a feeling of reliance on one another.
