Mário Cesariny
Mário Cesariny de Vasconcelos (1923–2006), commonly known as Mário Cesariny, was a Portuguese poet, writer, and painter closely associated with Portuguese Surrealism. Public authority data identifies him as a Portuguese writer, while the collected biographical sources describe a creative career joining visual art and poetry. He published poetry across a career of roughly five decades and reportedly placed increasing emphasis on poetry during the 1950s, although painting remained part of his practice. Cesariny is widely presented as a leading representative of Surrealism in Portugal, an important context for interpreting his visual work without treating every object attributed to him as authenticated. In appraisal and auction settings, collectors may encounter his name in connection with both paintings and literary material. Reliable entity matching should consider his full name, the shorter Mário Cesariny form, diacritics, and stable authority identifiers, since abbreviated cataloguing can otherwise fragment records for the same person.
Portuguese SurrealismPaintingPoetry and literary works
Common works and media
The collected sources directly support painting and poetry as central parts of Cesariny’s output. Paintings are therefore the clearest supported visual-art work type, while books and other literary material may also carry his name. The evidence supplied here does not establish recurring subjects, named visual series, print editions, sculptures, ceramics, drawings, or posters as common auction categories, so those classifications require lot-level documentation.
Market and appraisal context
Market research should begin by separating paintings from books, manuscripts, and other literary material because each work type requires a different comparison set. Date may also be relevant when relating an object to Cesariny’s long career and the reported shift of emphasis toward poetry during the 1950s. Attribution should be reconciled with stable artist-authority records, but this profile is not authentication. The collected source pack confirms that Appraisily maintains auction-price records under his public artist page, yet it does not provide the lot-level evidence needed to assess category mix, condition, provenance, edition details, subject frequency, or price trends. When detailed records are available, comparable sales should be selected conservatively and interpreted in their original sale context.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Value drivers
- Work type and medium, particularly the distinction between visual art and literary material
- Date within the artist's career, including its relationship to his increasing emphasis on poetry during the 1950s
- Identity and attribution reconciliation against stable artist-authority records
- Comparable public auction records, including sale dates and realized prices, when sufficiently similar lot records are available
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack does not expose lot-level category, condition, provenance, edition, subject, or pricing details.
- The available evidence is insufficient to characterize price levels, market trends, scarcity, or the relative frequency of different work types.
- This identity profile does not authenticate an object or establish its value.
