## About Benson Bond Moore

Benson Bond Moore (1882–1974) was an American painter whose identity is recorded by Wikidata, VIAF, and the Library of Congress authority system. Collected descriptions associate his work with drawings and sketches as well as painted studies of animals and landscapes. Those subjects place his name in searches for American animal imagery, landscape art, and works on paper, although the available sources do not document a formal movement, school, training history, or detailed exhibition chronology. VIAF records the authorized name Moore, Benson Bond, 1882-1974 and also connects the shorter form Benson Moore. A secondary biography calls him Native American, but the gathered authority material does not identify a tribal nation or affiliation, so that characterization remains unverified. Collectors may encounter Moore through auction records for drawings and paintings, where confirming the artist's identity and matching comparable work types are important first steps.

## Common works and media

Public descriptions most often connect Benson Bond Moore with paintings, drawings, and sketches featuring animals, animal portraiture, and landscapes. The collected material does not establish named series, documented editions, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or other specialized categories, so those forms should not be attributed to him without additional evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's input associates Benson Bond Moore with 417 auction records, indicating a meaningful body of market observations, but the collected source pack does not expose the underlying lot details. The documented work types and subjects provide cautious starting points for comparison: paintings should be compared with paintings, works on paper with similar drawings or sketches, and animal subjects with relevant animal imagery rather than unrelated landscapes. The pack does not include sale dates, realized prices, measurements, condition reports, provenance, or attribution notes for individual objects. Consequently, it supports categorizing potential comparables but not predicting a price, asserting a market trend, or assigning a value without examining the specific work and its relevant public auction records.

## Appraisily data basis

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