Eyvind Earle - "Mountains and Trees" Painting Original Art (1970)....

Description

Eyvind Earle - "Mountains and Trees" Painting Original Art (1970). Eyvind Earle's early masterpiece exemplifies his visionary approach to landscape and design. Long before his renowned contributions to Sleeping Beauty, Earle carved light from shadow, creating towering mountains and bold, etched trees that rise like ancient monoliths. His precise use of crisp edges and dreamlike depth creates a world straddling reality and myth. This work, a testament to his artistry, captures the essence of nature in its most mythical form and reflects the artist's significant role in shaping the visual language of animated film, particularly through his work with Disney in the 1950s. Oil on canvas with an image area of 17.5" x 13.5"; open-front framed to 25" x 21". Exhibits light handling. Unexamined out of frame. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions.

"The pastoral power of Eyvind Earle drinks deeply from the Northern California landscapes and the seasonal colors of the fields. This is a striking example of his compositional work." From the personal collection of Guillermo del Toro.
