## About Milivoj Uzelac

Milivoj Uzelac (1897–1977) was a Croatian painter whose career connects interwar Zagreb with France. A collected biographical source places him in the Zagreb modern-art scene of the 1920s and 1930s and associates him with the Group of Four alongside Vilko Gecan, Marijan Trepše, and Vladimir Varlaj. That context is useful, although the supplied source pack does not include a museum or scholarly catalogue confirming it. Uzelac spent much of his professional life in France. The collected biography particularly associates him with portraits and interior scenes populated by bohemian figures, while authority records also describe him as an illustrator. Collectors may therefore encounter his name across paintings and illustrative material rather than one narrowly defined work type. Stable records at Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and national-library authorities help identify the painter, but exact life dates and a fuller institutional chronology still require verification.

## Common works and media

The collected sources identify Uzelac principally as a painter and also as an illustrator. The available biography associates his work with portraits and interior scenes featuring bohemian figures. The source pack does not establish how frequently these categories appear at auction and does not document editions, sculpture, ceramics, posters, or particular print techniques.

## Market and appraisal context

The supplied Appraisily input associates 354 auction records with this artist, but the source pack contains no lot-level descriptions or major-auction-house results. That count should be treated as a discovery signal, not evidence of authenticity, category frequency, or a current price level. The most defensible initial comparisons concern work type—painting or illustrative material—and subject, especially portraits and interiors, because those formats and themes appear in the collected identity sources. Comparable lots should be reviewed individually for attribution wording, sale date, realized price, and how closely the object corresponds to the work being assessed. This evidence does not support a market-trend, scarcity, premium, or price-forecast claim.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, attribution details, and comparable lots. For Uzelac, the supplied source pack provides stronger identity evidence than market-detail evidence.
