## About Roger Bezombes

Roger Bezombes (1913–1994) was a French artist whose practice extended across painting, sculpture, medal design, engraving, graphic art, and decorative and theatrical painting. Getty’s Union List of Artist Names identifies him principally as a painter, sculptor, and medalist, while French- and Spanish-language reference entries associate him with the Second School of Paris. That breadth is important when identifying his work: the same name may appear in connection with a painting, a graphic sheet, a sculptural object, or a medal rather than a single uniform body of material. Collectors therefore encounter Bezombes through several distinct object categories, each requiring its own descriptive and comparative framework. Authority records from Getty, VIAF, and Wikidata consistently identify the artist as French and give his lifespan as 1913–1994. More detailed claims about individual subjects, named series, chronology, or technique should be confirmed against object-specific documentation because those details are not established by the collected institutional source material.

## Common works and media

Works encountered under Roger Bezombes’s name may include paintings, sculptures, medals, engravings, graphic works, and decorative or theatrical designs. The collected authority records establish this varied professional practice but do not identify recurring subjects, named series, standard edition sizes, or a complete catalogue of formats. An object should therefore be described from its observable medium and construction before it is matched to comparable auction lots.

## Market and appraisal context

Roger Bezombes worked in several materially different formats, so an appraisal should begin by identifying whether the object is a painting, sculpture, medal, engraving, graphic work, or decorative design. That classification determines which auction records offer meaningful comparisons. When suitable public records are available, comparable lots should be reviewed with their sale dates, realized prices, catalog descriptions, and stated work types kept in context. The collected source pack confirms Bezombes’s artistic roles and indicates a substantial auction-record presence, but it does not establish a price trend or provide evidence about edition sizes, signature conventions, provenance patterns, authentication procedures, or condition effects. Those questions require examination of the particular object and supporting documentation rather than conclusions drawn from the artist’s name alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records and auction-house context. When available, sale dates, realized prices, catalog descriptions, and comparable lots are used to place an individual work in an evidence-based market context.
