By Alvar Sunol Munoz-Ramos
Located in Atlanta, GA
This lithograph is in excellent condition. The photos shown are of one of the pieces in the edition. The piece you purchase will have a unique edition number and is new- never preowned.
"Concert of the Night" is part of the 4-piece "Concert of the Hours of the Day Lithograph Suite. In this lithograph, Alvar shows a figure playing Chopin’s Nocturne No.1 at the piano. 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.
This lithograph is hand-embellished with a watercolor over a lithograph drawing at the bottom of the main image. This piece was created, signed, and numbered by the artist.
More about Alvar:
Alvar Suñol Munoz-Ramos, commonly known as Alvar, was born in 1935 in Montgat, Spain, a Catalan fishing village on the Mediterranean coast near Barcelona. By the age of 17, he was accepted into the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Jorge in Barcelona. In 1960, he moved to Paris and exhibited with other major Spanish artists including Picasso, Miró, and Dalí.
Today, Alvar is recognized on an international platform for his exploration of the psychological and historical complexities of art-making and creation in relation to one’s environment and experiences. The examination of both interiors and exterior spaces place a significant role in all of Alvar’s works. Alvar strengthens his artistic vision through the use of various mediums including oil paintings, lithographs, watercolors, drawings, bronzes, and ceramic bas relief sculptures. His works can be found in the permanent collection of over fourteen museums worldwide and he has several public commissions around the world, including his most recent bronze sculpture created in honor of Catalan cellist Pablo Casals that is located in Paris, France.
Additionally, Alvar has had three consecutive retrospectives since 2014. His first was hosted at Las Casa...

Morning
By Caroline Durieux
Located in New Orleans, LA
Caroline Durieux created the technique (electron print) used in the depiction of "Morning".e. This is only one of 5 impressions. Some have theorized that the image is close to that of the artist's brother, Professor Charles Durieux.
In the electron print technique, radioactive isotopes are mixed with printing ink. A drawing is made and exposed face-to-face to paper coated with a radio-sensitized substance. The paper is then developed and produces an exact image of the original drawing.
“The image is transferred from the radioactive drawing to the sensitized paper by invisible beta rays,” says Dr. Wheeler. “Since beta rays are electrons, we named the process Electron Printing.”
Caroline Durieux (American, 1896 – 1989)
Printmaker, painter, satirist, innovator, social activist, Caroline Durieux was born in New Orleans and was already making sketches by the age of four. Her formal art training was at Newcomb College (1912-1917) and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (1918-1920).
Carl Zigrosser of the Philadelphia Museum of Art encouraged Durieux to try lithography. While living in Mexico, she learned lithography from Emilio Amero...

View of La Crau with Tree in the Foreground by Vincent van Gogh

View of La Crau with Tree in the Foreground

Pencil, Reed Pen and Ink on Paper
“In my opinion the two views of the Crau and of the country on the banks of the Rhone are the best things I have done in pen and ink”— Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo, Letter 509.
Drawn in the countryside of Arles, France in May of 1888, Vincent van Gogh’s View of La Crau with Tree in the Foreground, is an exceptional example of the artist’s groundbreaking artistic approach, innovative understanding of spatial planes and expressive rendering of untamed nature.
Prior to his time in Arles, much of van Gogh’s work fell in line with the standards put forth by the Academy — traditional subject matters rendered in the accepted techniques. In 1888, upon his arrival in the French countryside, van Gogh entered a decisively new creative phase, experimenting with the thrilling abstraction and brushwork that would come to define his genius. Works produced between 1888 and 1890 are the best of van Gogh’s career and the most desired compositions among collectors and museums. Because of van Gogh’s prolific correspondence during this time, the creation of this drawing has been extremely well documented, emphasizing how importantly van Gogh himself viewed this work during his lifetime.
In Arles, the hill of the Abbey of Mont Majour was a favorite drawing spot for van Gogh – it was within walking distance of his famed “Yellow House” studio and its slopes afforded excellent panoramic views of La Crau, the plain through which the river Rhone meanders towards the Mediterranean. Van Gogh made a number of drawings of the rocky hill and the ancient abbey, but his most impressive drawings were composed when the artist was perched atop the hill.
This view of La Crau is taken from the vantage point at the top of Mont Majour. Van Gogh kept the horizon low and rendered an abundance of sky, against which he silhouetted a large tree swirling with voluminous branches and leaves. The expressive abstraction seen in the lines of the tree recalls the mystifying swirls of van Gogh’s later masterpiece Starry Night. The composition, with enlarged foreground and diminished middle distance and background offers a dramatic contrast and underscores van Gogh’s unique understanding of space.
Van Gogh’s drawings of La Crau were not preparatory studies or sketches, but rather, conceived as individual works of art in their own right. This view of La Crau was part of a group of seven drawings that van Gogh executed during May 1888. Van Gogh was quite taken with this composition, writing to his brother Theo that, "The contrast between the wild romantic foreground, and the distant perspective, wide and still, with horizontal lines sloping into the chain of the Alps ... is very striking”(Letter no. 470), adding that the view to him was, “as beautiful and as infinite as the sea.”
As evidenced by van Gogh’s own glowing writings on these works, it is clear that these drawings are some of the artist’s most beloved. Other drawings of La Crau from this series reside in the British Museum and at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. This drawing has been featured in several exhibitions, holding a privileged position in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 1984 exhibition Van Gogh in Arles, as reflected in the popular exhibition catalogue.
Van Gogh’s period in Arles was marked by revelatory creative development and a most impressive artistic output against the backdrop of the artist’s growing mental duress. Van Gogh was open about his struggles, reflecting sentiments like, “My brain is still feeling tired and dried up.” However, he found solace in his work, noting that in spite of his deteriorating state, “some good canvases have come out of it.”
This beautiful and rare drawing is an important work by the modern master and reflects van Gogh’s profound and persistent desire to create and evolve despite his struggles.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between van Gogh and Gauguin was in their artistic styles and preferred subject matter. Although both artists were self-taught and are now considered Post-Impressionists, you can draw many contrasts between their work. Van Gogh tended to apply thick layers of paint with a technique known as impasto, giving his work dramatic texture. On the other hand, Gauguin's paintings are smoother, but they are equally dramatic due to his use of vibrant, often unrealistic or unexpected colors. The primary goal of van Gogh was to express his feelings and emotions through his landscapes, portraits and still-lifes. Instead of self-expression, Gauguin concerned himself with infusing symbolism and spiritualism into his work. He was a pioneer of Primitivism, art that seeks to explore the relationship between early man and his environment. On 1stDibs, find a range of Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin art.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024How much an original van Gogh is worth depends on its size, condition, historical significance and other factors. In 2022, the sale of his Orchard with Cypresses set a new auction record for the Postimpressionist artist, fetching a selling price of $117.2 million. Created in 1888, the work is an excellent example of how van Gogh used an impasto technique to thickly apply paint with heavy brushstrokes, instilling a sense of turbulent movement in his landscape compositions. If you're lucky enough to own a van Gogh, a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer can assist you with the valuation process. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Vincent van Gogh art and other Postimpressionist art.
