Mario Pasquale Comensoli
Mario Pasquale Comensoli (1922–1993) was a Swiss painter associated with realist and figurative art. Public biographical sources describe his work as a record of social change in Switzerland after the Second World War. His subjects included Italian immigrant communities, the unrest surrounding 1968, disco-era social life, and the disaffection of young people associated with the “No Future” period. These themes place people and changing social environments at the center of his practice. Comensoli is consequently encountered not only as a Swiss realist but also as an artist whose paintings engage with migration, labor, generational identity, and popular culture. Collectors may find his name attached to auction records for paintings, but the supplied evidence does not establish a complete catalogue of media, periods, or named series. Careful entity matching is important because appraisal conclusions should relate the submitted object to documented works by Mario Comensoli rather than relying on name similarity alone.

Common works and media
The available biographical sources identify Comensoli primarily with painting. They associate his figurative work with postwar Swiss society and subjects including Italian immigrants, the social unrest of 1968, disco culture, and disaffected youth. The source pack does not establish that prints, sculpture, ceramics, posters, or other media are common parts of his auction market, so objects in those categories require separate documentation.
Market and appraisal context
The collected evidence confirms that Mario Comensoli is represented in auction-price records while identifying him principally as a realist and figurative painter. It does not provide individual lot descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, provenance, dimensions, signatures, dates, or attribution notes, so it cannot support a price range or market-trend claim. A responsible appraisal should compare the submitted object only with public sales that can be verified as works by the same artist and matched by relevant work type and sale date. Any market conclusion should remain provisional until the individual object and suitable comparable lots have been reviewed.
