Also known as

Kees Maks, C.J. Maks

Cornelis Johannes Maks (1876–1967), widely identified as Kees Maks, was a Dutch painter. Dutch-language reference material also records the signature form C.J. Maks, an important clue when matching an object or auction record to the correct artist. The source pack connects Maks to stable authority identifiers at Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, RKD, GND, ISNI, IdRef, and the BnF, alongside Wikidata. These links help distinguish the artist across catalogues, although most authority endpoints were rate-limited during collection and supplied no readable biographical detail. The available evidence supports a clear identity and occupation but does not securely establish a movement, school, recurring subject, named series, or broader list of media. Collectors may therefore encounter his work under several name forms, while appraisal research should separate confirmed identity evidence from unsupported stylistic, chronological, or market assumptions.

Painting

Common works and media

The evidence securely identifies Maks as a painter, so paintings are the only common work type this profile can state with confidence. The pack does not substantiate particular supports, techniques, subjects, print editions, sculptures, ceramics, drawings, posters, periods, or named series. Objects signed “C.J. Maks” may warrant identity checking against the alternate name Kees Maks.

Market and appraisal context

The current source pack supports identity reconciliation more strongly than market interpretation. For an appraisal, records filed under Cornelis Johannes Maks should be checked against the alternate name Kees Maks and the recorded signature C.J. Maks before they are treated as works by the same artist. Appraisily’s artist page supplies auction-record context, but this collection includes no readable major-auction-house narrative, catalogue raisonné evidence, or detailed lot descriptions. Accordingly, no price trend, subject premium, medium hierarchy, or scarcity claim is justified here. Any valuation should rely on verified, closely comparable public sales and the documented facts of the specific object.
