Lisa MangorRare New York City Oil Portrait by Modernist Artist Lisa Mangor, ca 1940’sca 1940’s
ca 1940’s
About the Item
This is a highly stylized portrait of a lady by known and listed artist Lisa Mangor. Ms.Mangor was born in Russia in 1890 and came to New York likely around the beginning of World War II. She settled in the Upper East Side, on East 91st. Street. Mangor became part of the local art and gallery scene in the 1940’s. She was known to be extremely influential with famous American musician Eugène Istomin, who owned one of her paintings and was guided by Mangor at the start of his pursuing a fine art collection.
The portrait is oil on canvas and it is a whimsical side view of a charming older lady, clearly with style and personality for her day. Mangor put to work her colorful palette and somewhat modernest tendencies to create this portrait. It’s a rare look into a part of the New York art scene immediately after the Second World War.
The painting measures 16” x 20” and still retains its original washed chestnut frame of considerable width. The overall framed measurements are 23 3/4” x 27 3/4”. Both the painting and the frame are in very good condition. The frame has minor imperfections here and there, as one would expect with a vintage chestnut frame. The painting is signed lower right, a bit hard to see, but it is there. On the back of the frame are what appear to be original gallery labels from where it was shown in New York at the time.

"Don't Cry Long" Abstracted and Distorted Self-Portrait, One Crying Eye
Located in Detroit, MI
"Don't Cry Long" is a self-portrait of the artist and an unusual one at that in which the artist portrays herself shedding tears. Perhaps it is an expression of some grief experienced by Ms. Woodlock, but it also admonishes her to not "Cry Long" while at the same time poking fun because of her elongated face and the one lone "long" tear tracing a pattern down her face. In addition to self-portraits, Ethelyn painted commissioned portraits. In this painting her head is cocked and her famous bangs hang down her forehead. Compare two self-portraits, “Up From Under”, and “M’Eyes" to "Don't Cry Long." The major differences are the close facial view and the brilliant blood red paint that fills the entire canvas.
This painting is included in the book, "Dreams Have Wings: An Artist's Journey into Magic and Mystery" printed in the United States, 1985. She describes "Don't Cry Long" as showing how funny looking we are, if we cry too long.
