Alvar Sunol Munoz-Ramos (Born 1935) Spanish, "Women with Dove" Lithograph
Est: $100 - $200
Alvar Sunol Munoz-Ramos (Born 1935) Spanish, "Women with Dove" Lithograph. Figural abstract piece, sometimes also titled "La Tendresse." Signed in pencil bottom right. Numbered 68/275 in pencil bottom left. Condition: Frame comes apart. Overall Size: 37 x 30 x 1 in. Sight Size: 29 1/2 x 21 1/2 in. Àlvar Suñol Munoz-Ramos, professionally known as Alvar, was born on January 29th, 1935, in Montgat, a Catalan fishing village near Barcelona, Spain, and began painting at the age of twelve, accepted into the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Jorge in Barcelona at the age of seventeen. A year later he won the Young Painter’s Prize, with his work acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona, but after his first solo exhibition in 1957 Alvar briefly paused his career to serve in the Spanish military, returning to continue his studies at the Institut Français in Paris in 1959. There he met gallery director Juan Fuentes, who quickly sold Alvar’s first set of paintings in France, launching his international career. He married his childhood sweetheart, Rosella Berenguer, in 1960 and studied further at the École des Beaux Arts, joining the Spanish School of Paris alongside contemporaries such as Miró, Dalí, and Picasso, and in 1962 Alvar held his first solo exhibition in the United States. After a decade in Paris he returned to Spain, where he focused on lithographs until 2000 before shifting to large-scale paintings and murals, including public commissions in Tiana and his hometown of Montgat. His work spans watercolor, oil, ceramics, sculpture, engravings, and graphite drawings, and has been displayed in over 40 museums and 95 galleries globally. Recognized as one of the last great living European Modernists, Alvar’s career has continuously blended classical technique with modernist expression.

Alvar Sunol Munoz-Ramos Spanish, (b.1935) Fleurs Pour Une Sonata lithograph Pencil signed lower right, edition 133/275. Biography from David W. Streets~Beverly Hills~Fine Art/Appraisals: Alvar Suñol Munoz-Ramos was born on January 29, 1935, in Montgat, a Catalan fishing village on the Mediterranean coast near Barcelona. He started painting oils at age twelve, and at age seventeen was accepted at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Jorge, the prestigious fine art school in Barcelona. Before graduating from the Belles Artes, he gave his first solo exhibition at Galleries Layetana in Barcelona in 1957. Alvar also won the Bolsa de Viaje Alhambra de Granada, a summer scholarship study trip to Granada. At age 18, he entered a painting in a competition for the Young Painters Prize sponsored by the City of Barcelona. His painting won the grand prize, and it is now in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, Barcelona, Spain. Due to his early artistic successes, Alvar received many invitations for shows in other Spanish cities. During his military service, he submitted one of his canvases for the Institut Francais an- nual painting competition in Barcelona. The Institut Francais awarded him the grand prize and a scholarship to study in Paris. Alvar arrived in Paris to paint in 1959. He met Juan Fuentes, a fellow Spaniard and director of the prestigious Parisian Galerie Drouant. Fuentes encouraged Alvar in his painting and brought Alvar's first group of Paris oil paintings to the gallery. Fuentes' gallery sold the paintings in one week. In 1960 Alvar returned to Barcelona to marry his childhood sweetheart, Rosella Berenguer. They returned to Paris and lived there for ten years. Alvar's paintings were exhibited in the United States for the first time at the Monede Gallery, New York in 1962. Alvar produced his first original lithographs for a one-man show at Galerie Drouant in 1963. Since a decisive solo exhibition in Paris in 1963, Alvar has exhibited regularly throughout Europe, the United States, Canada and Japan. For a comprehensive list of Alvar's museum and private exhibitions, please see the additional in- formation provided. Alvar's hometown of Tiana hosts one of his permanent public installations. In September 2001, a commissioned mixed media mural by Alvar was unveiled. The mural reflects on the four seasons and is affixed to The Four Seasons Building, named in reference to Alvar's mural. In 2003, city officials in Montgat, Spain, commissioned Alvar to create another permanent public installation: an 18-foot sculpture titled Mediterranea dedicated to the city's personality and seaside character, which now stands in the newly opened Plaza de Mallorquines. Perhaps one of the most prestigious honors Alvar has received was in 2006 when Restaura, a Spanish real estate com- pany that is dedicated to building restoration projects for cities, asked Alvar to create a sculpture to honor the famous Spanish cellist and composer Pablo Casals (1876 - 1973). In early 2008, the sculpture was placed on a street in the Boulogne Billancourt area of Paris that after a major renovation has also been renamed for Pablo Casals. In addition to the sculpture, Restaura also commissioned Alvar to create a large painting and lithograph suite honoring Pablo Casals. The lithograph is displayed in their headquarters as an honor to their fellow Spaniards Casals and Alvar. In 1993 a book devoted to the artist's paintings was published in Spain and the United States. In 2001, Alvar: Thirty Years of Lithography, a book chronicling the lithographic creations of Alvar was published. In 2005, Alvar in Color and Poetry, a book by Dr. Betty Jean Craige, Marjorie Agosin, and Alvar was published. In 2006, a DVD titled Alvar: His Vision and His Art was written and produced by Dr. Betty Jean Craige and Alan Stecker. The DVD was awarded first place at the Indie Gathering film festival for independent filmmakers; the 42-minute documentary was honored in the short documentary category. In June 2007, it aired on public television in Georgia; further states are scheduled. Alvar continues to create art in the mediums of oil, lithography, watercolor, bronze, ceramic bas-relief and precious metal sculpture. His work frequently embodies a poetic message, recognizing those he admires and his feelings about the importance of family values, nature, and time.

ALVAR SUÑOL MUÑOZ-RAMOS (Montgat, Barcelona, 1935). Untitled. 1971. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower right corner.
Est: €11,000 - €12,000
ALVAR SUÑOL MUÑOZ-RAMOS (Montgat, Barcelona, 1935). Untitled. 1971. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 147,5 x 297 cm; 150,5 x 300 cm (frame). In this composition, Alvar Suñol creates an ethereal atmosphere with his characteristic post-cubist style. The three women, with large eyes and rounded ovals, embody archetypes that, in this case, evoke hope and spirituality symbolized by the doves and the flower with enormous petals that they hold in their hands. The background with the city (synthesized with cubic forms suggesting building blocks) connects the intimate world of the house with urban modernity. Although he simplifies the forms in a cubist and fauve style, Alvar does not renounce beauty or the warm, vibrant colors that give the work a poetic tone. The colors are soft but luminous, creating a cozy and mysterious atmosphere that highlights the symbolism of the elements represented. The work can be read as a celebration of peace and beauty in the midst of everyday life. Alvar Suñol began oil painting at the age of twelve, and at seventeen he was accepted at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de Sant Jordi, in Barcelona. Before graduating, he held his first solo exhibition, which took place in 1957 at the Layetanas Galleries in Barcelona. Suñol also won the Alhambra Travel Grant in Granada, a summer scholarship that allowed him to further his education in the Andalusian city. At the age of eighteen he took part in the Premio de Pintura Joven de la Ciudad de Barcelona, winning first prize. He was also awarded in the annual exhibition of the French Institute held in Barcelona, obtaining a scholarship to study in Paris, where he settled in 1959. There he showed his work in the prestigious Drouant gallery and, after returning fleetingly to Barcelona in 1960, he remained in the French capital for ten years. In 1962 he showed his work for the first time in the United States, at the Monede Gallery in New York. The following year he produced his first series of original lithographs for the Drouant Gallery. That same year, 1963, Suñol held a decisive personal exhibition in Paris, the starting point of a successful international career that would take him to exhibit all over the world, in cities in Europe, the United States, Canada and Japan. Alvar's work, the name by which he is known in the art world, is based on geometry but is always figurative, and is inspired by classical architecture, with frequent references to his favorite painters: Piero della Francesca, Vermeer and Balthus. His work is also characterized by a deeply personal chromatic range, based on particular, sometimes exotic, ochers and reds. He is currently represented at the MACBA, the Kumamoto and Fukoka Museums in Japan, the Finch College in New York, the Art Museums of Wichita, Utah and Albany (USA), the Hyacinthe Rigaud Museum in Perpignan and the Museum of Contemporary Engraving in Marbella, among others.
