## About Arturo Souto

Arturo Souto Feijoo (1902–1964), commonly catalogued as Arturo Souto, was a Spanish painter and illustrator; linked authority data also identifies him as a printmaker active in Mexico. Spanish-language biographical sources describe him as Galician and note that he developed part of his career in exile in Mexico. Those overlapping Spanish, Galician, and Mexican contexts are useful when matching his identity across library, bibliographic, museum, and auction records. Collectors may encounter his name on paintings, printed or graphic work, and illustration-related material, while records can alternate between the shorter professional name and the fuller Arturo Souto Feijoo. The collected sources do not establish a specific art movement, recurring subject repertoire, or exact birth and death dates, so those details should not be inferred. One authority cluster carries a 1904 birth-year variant, although Wikidata and most VIAF headings support 1902. Appraisily therefore treats 1902–1964 as the best-supported year range while preserving the discrepancy for further research.

## Common works and media

Documented practices include painting, illustration, and printmaking. Likely appraisal categories therefore include paintings, prints and other graphic works, and illustration-related works on paper. The source pack does not identify recurring subjects, named series, edition formats, or favored supports, so individual objects should be described from direct evidence rather than assigned to an unsupported body of work.

## Market and appraisal context

Market review for Arturo Souto should begin by separating paintings, prints or other graphic works, and illustration-related material, because the public records document more than one artistic practice. Cataloguing should also reconcile the shorter name Arturo Souto with Arturo Souto Feijoo and consider whether a dated work relates to his Spanish career or his period in Mexico. The collected pack does not provide accessible lot descriptions, edition data, condition reports, provenance, dimensions, or realized-price results, so it cannot support a price trend or a claim that one subject or medium sells more strongly. Object-specific appraisal should rely on verified authorship and comparable public sales matched by work type and date when those records are available.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For Arturo Souto, the present identity evidence is stronger than the collected lot-level market evidence.
