Also known as
Walter Claude Flight, W. Claude Flight
Claude Flight (1881–1955), also recorded as Walter Claude Flight and W. Claude Flight, was an artist best known in the collected evidence for advancing and popularizing linocut printmaking. He also painted, illustrated, and made woodcuts, giving his output a broader range than linocut alone. Museum and authority profiles maintained by MoMA, the British Museum, the National Gallery of Art, Getty, and Wikidata provide stable identity anchors for matching his name across collections and auction data. Collectors are most likely to encounter his work through prints, especially linocuts, alongside woodcuts and less commonly paintings or illustrated material. Because the available source summaries are brief, this profile does not assign unsupported movements, subjects, teachers, or named series. For appraisal purposes, the first step is to identify the exact medium and object type and then compare the work with closely related public sale records under the same artist identity.

Common works and media
Linocut prints are the clearest recurring work type in the collected source material. The same evidence also records woodcuts, paintings, and illustration, so catalog searches and appraisals should not assume every Claude Flight object is a linocut. No supported subject taxonomy, named series, or edition information is available in this source pack.
Market and appraisal context
Claude Flight's market context should be separated by work type. The collected evidence identifies linocuts, woodcuts, paintings, and illustrations, while Appraisily's artist page supplies an auction-record setting for comparable lots when records are available. A responsible comparison begins by matching the medium and object type, then reviewing documented sale dates and realized prices for genuinely comparable works. This source pack does not establish price trends or provide work-level evidence about condition, edition, provenance, signatures, or attribution. Those details should be verified from the object and its documentation before any valuation conclusion. Historical auction results describe past transactions and do not guarantee a current price.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Linocut prints
- Woodcuts
- Paintings
- Illustrated works and works on paper
Value drivers
- The work type and medium should be matched to comparable records because Flight worked in linocut, woodcut, painting, and illustration.
- Relevant public auction records, sale dates, and realized prices should be compared when documented records are available.
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack does not support a price trend, price forecast, or claim about the relative scarcity of particular works.
- Condition, edition details, impression quality, signatures, provenance, and attribution require evidence from the individual object and are not established by this artist-level source pack.
- Historical realized prices describe past transactions and do not guarantee current market value.
