## About Willem Hussem

Willem Frans Karel Hussem (1900–1974) was a Dutch painter, sculptor and poet. Public authority records identify him across both visual-art and literary contexts, which helps distinguish works by the artist from books, catalogues or references bearing his name. The collected sources do not provide enough institution-grade detail to assign a specific movement, school, subject repertoire or named series with confidence. This profile therefore presents Hussem primarily through the documented facts of his identity and multidisciplinary practice. Collectors may encounter his name in connection with paintings and sculpture, as well as poetry and related publications. When matching a work or auction record, the full name Willem Frans Karel Hussem, the life years 1900–1974 and linked authority identifiers provide the most reliable entity signals. More specific claims about style, chronology or artistic affiliations require additional museum, RKD or scholarly catalogue evidence.

## Common works and media

The available evidence supports paintings and sculptures as the broad visual-art categories associated with Hussem. It also documents his work as a poet, so books and bibliographic records should not be confused with visual artworks. Specific painting materials, sculptural materials, subjects, editions and named series cannot be confirmed from this source pack.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should begin by confirming the artist's identity and distinguishing a painting from a sculpture or another object type. The source pack confirms Hussem's broad visual-art practices but does not supply lot-level materials, dimensions, condition reports, provenance or price results. Appraisily's artist record indicates an associated body of auction data. When complete records are available, comparisons should be matched by documented work type and assessed through sale dates, realized prices and genuinely comparable lots. This evidence does not support a price forecast, a market trend or claims that any particular period, subject or material commands a premium.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices and comparable lots. Claims are limited to the evidence collected for the artist.
