"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. Ethelyn Woodlock...

Original Spanish Surrealist Female Figure, Monumental Expressionist Composition Artist: Alvar Suñol Munoz-Ramos Title: Figurative Composition Date: circa 2000 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 81 × 100 cm / 31.9 × 39.4 in Framed: Yes Signed: Lower right Condition: Excellent Origin: Spain DESCRIPTION A monumental and highly distinctive figurative composition by internationally recognized Spanish artist Alvar Suñol, combining psychological intensity, sculptural presence and a sophisticated balance between figuration and abstraction. The composition is dominated by one of Suñol’s characteristic introspective female figures, rendered with a monumental sense of volume and surrounded by overlapping geometric planes, textured surfaces and richly modulated color. Earthy greys, ochres and muted blues contrast dramatically with areas of deep red and luminous yellow, creating a complex visual architecture that rewards prolonged viewing. Measuring 81 × 100 cm / 31.9 × 39.4 inches, this is an imposing large-format work with considerable decorative and intellectual presence. Its scale, compositional complexity and mature handling make it particularly suitable for an important contemporary interior, private collection or architect-designed space. This painting belongs to the mature period of Suñol’s career, when his visual language had developed into a highly personal synthesis of Mediterranean figuration, modernist structure and poetic symbolism. The female figure, simultaneously monumental and introspective, becomes less a portrait than a universal psychological presence. The work is presented framed and in excellent condition, ready to display. BIOGRAPHY Alvar Suñol Munoz-Ramos, widely known as Alvar Suñol, was born in Montgat, near Barcelona, in 1935. He studied at the Escola Superior de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi in Barcelona and quickly emerged as one of the most internationally recognized Spanish figurative artists of his generation. His career developed between Spain, Paris and the United States, where his work found a particularly strong following among collectors. Suñol became known for a highly personal figurative language characterized by monumental human figures, architectural structures, symbolic imagery and richly worked surfaces. Throughout his long career, his paintings, sculptures, lithographs and monumental projects have been exhibited internationally and are represented in numerous private and institutional collections. His mature work occupies a distinctive position between Mediterranean lyricism, European modernism and a deeply personal form of poetic figuration. Rather than abandoning the human figure, Suñol transformed it into a vehicle for memory, contemplation and psychological depth. ARTISTIC INSPIRATION Suñol’s work belongs to the wider European figurative tradition shaped by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall and Amedeo Modigliani, while maintaining a strongly individual Mediterranean sensibility. The monumental treatment of the figure recalls certain aspects of Picasso’s later figurative work, while the fragmented planes and structural organization reveal the lasting influence of Cubism and European modernism. At the same time, Suñol’s poetic atmosphere and symbolic use of the human figure place his work in dialogue with Chagall and other artists who maintained narrative and emotional content within modern art. This combination of Mediterranean identity, modernist construction and psychological figuration gives Suñol’s work a particularly distinctive presence within post-war Spanish and European painting.
