## About Maurice Blond

Maurice Blond (1899–1974) was a Polish painter whose birth name is reported as Maurycy Blumenkranc. A French-language secondary source also identifies him as a lithographer and associates him with the School of Paris, the broad context in which many internationally born artists working in Paris are discussed. National descriptions are not fully consistent: collected records call him Polish, French of Polish origin, and Russian-associated. For entity matching, the Polish identification is retained as the primary description while the conflict remains documented. Collectors may encounter works catalogued under Maurice Blond in painting and lithograph categories. Authority records maintained by Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, BnF, RKD, and Art UK help distinguish this artist from people with similar names. Because the collected biographical evidence is limited, this profile avoids assigning recurring subjects, named series, or more specific stylistic claims.

## Common works and media

The collected evidence identifies Blond as a painter and, in a secondary source, as a lithographer. Paintings and lithographs are therefore the only work types this profile can responsibly foreground. The source pack does not establish recurring subjects, named series, sculpture, ceramics, posters, or edition practices.

## Market and appraisal context

The available evidence supports a cautious market framework centered on correct identity and work type. A prospective appraisal should first establish that an object is attributable to Maurice Blond, including consideration of the reported birth name Maurycy Blumenkranc, and determine whether it is a painting or lithograph. Relevant public auction records can then be compared by work type when sufficiently documented examples are available. This source pack does not provide lot-level condition, provenance, dimensions, signatures, dates, editions, realized prices, or auction-house descriptions, so it cannot support artist-specific price predictions or trend claims. Those object-level facts and verified comparable sales remain necessary for a defensible valuation.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine identity research and stable authority links with available auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Coverage varies by artist and should be evaluated alongside the specific object being appraised.
