Alvar books       Embossed Color Lithographs       Oil Paintings on Canvas       Oil Paintings on Board       Watercolors and Drawings      Sculpture

Alvar came to the United States to open the extraordinary exhibition of paintings, watercolors, drawings, sculpture, and limited edition embossed lithographs Sunday, November 2, 2003 at Saper Galleries in East Lansing, Michigan.   Click here to see pictures from Alvar's visit to America!

Saper Galleries has carried the limited edition lithographs of Sunol Alvar since the 1970s.  After our then-new gallery was built in 1986 we featured Alvar as our second major one-person exhibition.  We have a long tradition of representing the world's finest artists, and we're proud that Alvar has always been a hallmark in the Saper Galleries collection.  Although most of the Alvars shown below are displayed in our East Lansing, Michigan gallery today and are available for immediate delivery anywhere in the world, there is a chance that an image of interest to you may be on reserve or now be sold.  Before traveling to East Lansing feel free to contact us to learn of the present inventory. 

The photographs shown below are of the actual Alvars in our inventory.

Alvar Sunol Munoz-Ramos was born on January 20, 1935 in Montgat, a Catalan fishing village on the outskirts of Barcelona, Spain.  Sunol Alvar grew up on the sunny Mediterranean coast with his father Tomas, mother Antonia and his older brother and sister, Jordi and Amadea.  Showing a great artistic talent as a youth, he attended the prestigious Sant Jordi Art School in Barcelona at age 16. 

At age 18, Alvar won the Alhambra de Granada grant, a summer scholarship that allowed him to travel and paint throughout Spain.  This was the birth of Alvar's style and the laying of the technical foundation that would accompany him over the following years.  Alvar returned home and entered a painting in competition for the Young Painter's Prize sponsored by the City of Barcelona.  He won the Grand Prize and the painting was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona for its permanent collection. 

In 1957, at age 22, Alvar gave his first one-man show at the Galleries Layetana in Barcelona.  The exhibit was a great success and Alvar received many invitations for shows in other Spanish cities.  He entered one of his canvasses for the annual painting competition at the French Institute of Barcelona.  He again won the Grand Prize, and with it a study trip to Paris. 

Alvar arrived in Paris to paint in 1959.  He met Juan Fuentes, a fellow Spaniard and director of the prestigious Gallery Drouant.  Fuentes brought Alvar's first group of Paris oil paintings to the gallery.  All of the paintings sold in one week.  He was subsequently invited to join the celebrated School of Paris, a group of the top young artists in Paris, organized by the distinguished Charpentier Gallery.

Alvar returned to Barcelona in 1960 to marry his childhood sweetheart, Rosella Berenguer.  They returned to Paris and lived there for the next ten years.  His paintings were exhibited in the United States for the first time at the Monede Gallery, New York city, in 1962.  Alvar produced his first original lithographs for a one-man show at Gallery Drouant in 1963.  In 1970, Alvar and Rosella left Paris and returned to their beloved Spain to raise their three young children.  He has lived there ever since. 

Sunol Alvar has exhibited regularly throughout the world over the years.  His highly prized lithographs were honored with an exhibition at the Hyacinth Rigand Museum in Perpignan, France.  The Utah Museum of Fine Art, Salt Lake City, Utah and the Wichita Art Museum in Wichita, Kansas have held major exhibits of his lithographs, paintings and sculptures.

Following the great tradition of other great Spanish painters of the 20th Century, including Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali, the unique and distinctive artwork of Alvar Sunol Munoz-Ramos has taken a revered spot in the history and iconography of our times.

Alvar's lithographs abound with symbols and motifs. Lithography, from the Greek words for "stone" and "writing", is a type of printmaking using metal plates or the surface of a large flat limestone.  When making a lithograph Alvar uses a grease crayon to draw directly onto zinc plates, adding the colors successively to the evolving image by using a separate zinc plate for each color.  Some lithographs have required as many as 14 colors, each of which requires its own zinc plate and drawing. 

Alvar will usually spend an entire afternoon printing a single color, experimenting with the ink to achieve the desired results.  At each stage of the process Alvar makes artistic decisions and retains a firm mental image of the completed work, as lithography requires a deep understanding of the materials, color theory and application, how to reserve white space, and modifications according to what occurs within each step of the process.


The four images below are each from the rare, long sold out Allegories of the Arts suite by Alvar.  The suite is in perfect, new condition and comes with the original portfolio that encases the set of four embossed lithographs.  For more details, please contact us now!  Only one suite is available.

In Greek mythology the Muses are goddesses who inspired and protected the arts, sciences and letters.  In this work they are shown presiding over the process of artistic creation in its various manifestations: the dove, the laurel leaves and the candle which, respectively, symbolize spiritual peace, the glory of victory and the inspirational flame, allegorically depicted as elements that underlie artistic creation.

Colors, nature and life are in full activity during the middle of the day– like the force unleashed in Ludwig van Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, the composition of which is the musical reference for this lithograph. The sun, located in the center, presides over and organizes all the elements in the composition. Under the sun is a vase with flowers, also the product of nature, where a fragment of the painting “The Angelus” by the French painter Jean-Francois Millet is represented.  It is an allusion to a religious tradition by peasants that survived until the past century consisting of stopping work at twelve noon (the hour of Angelus) to say a prayer.

The complete suite of four (two above, two below) is available at $20,000 unframed with the Collector's Edition Portfolio including four poems by Daniel Silva accented by a lithograph and four additional black and white lithographs all in a burgundy portfolio case.  There is only one complete portfolio left!

Chopin’s Nocturnes are some of his most celebrated works.  His Nocturne No.1 is the musical reference for this fourth lithograph within the “Concert of the Hours of the Day” suite.  This composition represents a piano concerto.  Next to the pianist there appears a figure eluding to George Sand who is holding laurel leaves symbolizing the inspiration of the artist, whose portrait (extracted from a portrait of Chopin by the French painter Delacroix) appears in the lithograph.

Being a nocturne, the chromatic range in the work consists predominately of blue tones, dominated by the brilliance of the lunar light in an atmosphere of seclusion and intimacy.

The music from Albinoni's "Adagio" is restful and meditative.  For this reason the chromatic composition of this lithograph uses colors that evoke the tonalities of colors stained by an evening sun just before turning to night and subsequently becoming the new day.  On the right margin of the composition is a figure that is taking in the aroma of the fruits and flowers near him.  Earth, trees and flowers all give their most intense aromas at sunset.

Inspired by the united narrative within the Concierto En Las Horas Del Dia suite of lithographs, Alvar translated the lithographs into a limited edition bronze bowl sculpture.  Known as the "Master of all Mediums", he seized the challenge to incorporate each image into one seamless object. All emotions encompassed in the work of art, outstandingly capture the mood of the moment during the hours of the day starting with the morning and ending at night.
