After graduating from high school, he worked as a bank clerk until 1906. In addition to work, from 1901 he trained in the courses of the Model Drawing Academy in Budapest. Between 1906 and 1909 he lived in Paris, where he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts. T. A. Steinlen was a graphic artist. Zador worked in the Szolnok artist colony in 1908 as a scholarship student and became a guest member in 1914. In 1909-1910, he was a student at the Florence Academy.
During the First World War, he was a military draftsman, and in 1918-1919 produced revolutionary reportage drawings. After the collapse of the Hungarian Soviet Republic he lived in Weimar and Munich.
Returning to Hungary, he became one of the founding members of the Szinyei Merse Pál Society. Zador went to work in the Szolnok once he became a full member of the artist colony in 1924. He lived and worked in the Netherlands from 1938 until the end of the Second World War. During Zador's entire career, but especially in the 1950s, he worked a lot on illustrating books.
