Louis Robert Arthur Latapie (1891–1972), commonly known as Louis Latapie, was a French painter and engraver born in Toulouse and later deceased in Avignon. International authority records identify him consistently under both the shortened and full forms of his name. Published summaries associate his work with a colorful form of Cubism, particularly in still lifes and female nudes. During the 1950s, his compositions are described as becoming more simplified and increasingly close to abstraction. This development gives collectors several contexts in which they may encounter his work: representational paintings structured through Cubist forms, later works with greater formal reduction, and graphic or engraved pieces. Because Latapie worked across painting and print-related media, an accurate identification should establish the object’s medium, date, subject, and status as a unique or reproducible work before comparisons are made. His authority-file presence also helps distinguish him from similarly named artists in catalogues and auction records.

Common works and media

Works encountered under Latapie’s name may include paintings, especially still lifes and female nude or figure compositions, as well as engravings and other graphic works. The available summaries describe colorful Cubist construction in his representational subjects and greater simplification approaching abstraction during the 1950s. Classification should distinguish unique paintings from reproducible graphic works and should record the medium, support, dimensions, subject, date, signatures, inscriptions, and any edition details visible on the object.

Market and appraisal context

Latapie’s market should be examined by separating unique paintings from engravings and other graphic works. Subject and period also matter when selecting comparisons: the available biographical material identifies still lifes and female nudes within his colorful Cubist production and describes a movement toward simplified, abstraction-adjacent forms in the 1950s. Appraisily’s public artist page supplies an auction-record context, but this source pack does not include major-auction-house lot descriptions or individual realized-price examples. A defensible appraisal therefore requires object-specific identification and closely matched public sales rather than a general price assumption. Attribution, dimensions, condition, provenance, signatures, inscriptions, and any edition information should be verified directly from the work and its documentation before relying on comparable results.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings, including still lifes and female figure compositions
  • Engravings and other graphic works

Value drivers

  1. Work type and medium, particularly the distinction between a unique painting and an engraving or other graphic work
  2. Subject matter, including whether the work is a still life or a female nude or figure composition
  3. Date and stylistic phase, including colorful Cubist work and the more simplified, abstraction-adjacent work described for the 1950s
  4. Comparable public auction records matched by medium, subject, dimensions, sale date, and work type when sufficiently documented records are available

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack contains an Appraisily auction-record signal but no lot-level descriptions or realized-price examples from a major auction house.
  • The available evidence does not support conclusions about price trends, scarcity, authenticity, or the relative market performance of particular periods.
  • Condition, provenance, dimensions, signatures, inscriptions, and attribution should be assessed from the individual object and its documentation rather than inferred from this identity profile.
