About Eyvind Earle
Born in New York in 1916, Eyvind Earle began his prolific career at the age of ten. At that time, his father, Ferdinand Earle, gave him a challenging choice. The choices were to read 50 pages of a book or paint a picture every day. Earle choose both. From the time of his first one-man showing in France when he was 14, Earle’s fame had grown steadily.
At the age of 21, Earle bicycled across the country from Hollywood to New York, paying his way by painting 42 watercolors.
More About Eyvind Earle
Earle successfully synthesizes seemingly incongruent aspects into a singularly distinctive style: a style, which is at once mysterious, primitive, disciplined, moody and nostalgic. He captures the grandeur of simplicity of the American countryside and represents these glimpses of the American scene with direct lyric ardor. His landscapes are remarkable for their suggestion of distances, landmasses and weather moods.
“For 70 years,” Earle wrote in 1996, “I’ve painted paintings, and I’m constantly and everlastingly overwhelmed at the stupendous infinity of Nature. Wherever I turn and look, there I see creation. Art is creating…Art is the search for truth.” Eyvind Earle passed away on July 20, 2000, at the age of 84.
