About Hubert Malfait

Born

1898

Died

1971

Nationality

Belgian

Hubert Malfait (1898–1971) was a Belgian painter and draftsman associated in the available biographical record with the third generation of the Latem School. His work of the 1920s is described as expressionist and strongly centered on the human figure. Some compositions organize their figures through cubist construction, indicating a structural influence rather than establishing Malfait as a formal member of Cubism. Collectors may encounter his name in connection with Belgian modernist painting, figurative compositions, and works on paper. Authority records maintained by Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and other library systems help distinguish him from similarly named people and consistently identify his lifespan and professional activity. The present evidence is strongest for his basic identity and occupations; fuller institutional documentation is still needed for a more detailed account of his training, exhibitions, stylistic development, and position within Belgian art history.

Common works and media

The collected sources identify Malfait principally as a painter and also as a draftsman. Paintings are therefore the best-supported category, with drawings and other works on paper forming a secondary category. The available stylistic account particularly notes expressionist canvases from the 1920s in which human figures occupy a prominent role; some use a cubist-like construction to organize the composition. The source pack does not establish a reliable catalogue of recurring titles, named series, print editions, sculpture, ceramics, or poster production.

Market and appraisal context

For appraisal purposes, the clearest distinctions supported by the collected evidence are medium, work type, and stylistic period. Paintings should be compared with paintings, while drawings and other works on paper require their own comparable group. A work plausibly connected with Malfait's documented expressionist and figurative production of the 1920s should be evaluated against records from that phase rather than against his output as a whole. Identity matching is also important because authority records provide stable identifiers for the Belgian artist who lived from 1898 to 1971. The source pack does not expose individual auction descriptions, realized prices, provenance, condition, or edition details, so no price level or market direction can be responsibly inferred here.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Value drivers

  1. Medium and work type, particularly the distinction between paintings and drawings
  2. Relationship to Malfait's documented 1920s expressionist and figurative phase
  3. Availability of comparable public auction records matched to the correct Hubert Malfait authority identity

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack does not provide accessible lot-level descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, provenance histories, or edition information, so it does not support price predictions or market-trend claims.
  • The public Appraisily artist page was rate-limited during collection; its underlying auction records could not be evaluated individually.
  • Movement and stylistic-period information is presently supported only by the collected Dutch-language Wikipedia entry and requires stronger museum or scholarly corroboration.
