Albert Ràfols-Casamada
Albert Ràfols Casamada (1923–2009) was a Spanish painter, poet, and art teacher whose career combined visual art, writing, and teaching. Public authority records also index him as an engraver and illustrator, reflecting a practice that extended beyond painting. Biographical summaries place him within the avant-garde currents of his time. His visual language reportedly began in a post-expressionist figurative mode before moving toward a personal form of abstraction shaped by a poetic response to everyday reality. Bibliographic records point to substantial bodies of both painting and poetry: cited publications survey paintings from 1950 to 2005 and poetic work from 1939 to 1999. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on paintings, engravings, illustrated material, and publications as well as in literary contexts. The available source pack is strongest on identity and bibliography, so distinctions among periods, techniques, and individual works should be confirmed with object-specific documentation and relevant catalogues.

Common works and media
Works encountered in collection and appraisal contexts may include paintings, engravings, illustrated material, and artist-related publications. The source pack also documents an extensive poetic practice. Early visual work is described as figurative and post-expressionist, while later work adopted a more personal abstract language. The pack does not establish specific recurring motifs, print editions, dimensions, or techniques for individual objects.
Market and appraisal context
An appraisal of a work associated with Ràfols Casamada should begin by identifying its category and medium. The public records support a practice encompassing painting, engraving, illustration, and literary publication, while biographical material distinguishes early figurative work from later abstraction. Comparisons should therefore match the work type and creative phase as closely as the evidence permits. Appraisily's artist page indicates an auction-record context, but the collected source pack contains no detailed lot descriptions or realized-price excerpts. Any valuation should consequently use verified public auction records, sale dates, realized prices, and genuinely comparable lots rather than infer a price from the artist's name alone.

Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack identifies an Appraisily auction-price page but contains no lot-level descriptions or realized-price excerpts.
- The available evidence does not support a price prediction, market trend, or claim about which period commands the strongest demand.
- Object-specific authorship, technique, date, and edition details require evidence beyond this identity-level source pack.
