About Autumn Sunset

“Autumn Sunset” is a landscape painting by Eyvind Earle, created in 1987 in the United States. This piece is associated with the Magic Realism art movement, which infuses a realistic view of the natural world with a sense of mystery and enchantment.

This vibrant landscape features a stylized depiction of nature during autumn. The painting is characterized by a bold and intense color palette dominated by various shades of pink and purple, contrasted with the silhouettes of trees and black rooftops. An angular, winding road leads through a series of buildings with sharply defined geometric shapes, which ascend the composition like steps leading to smaller houses on the hilltops. The trees are leafless or filled with pink leaves, adding to the autumnal theme, and spaced in a manner that creates an organized rhythm across the canvas. The background is a gradient of intensifying colors, suggesting the warmth and glow of a sunset sky. Earle’s use of color and stylized forms creates a dreamlike atmosphere, invoking the enchanting and magical qualities typical of Magic Realism.
