The artwork, titled “Big Sur Coastline,” was created by the artist Eyvind Earle in 1989 in the United States. This piece belongs to the Magic Realism art movement and falls within the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a striking and serene coastal scene that embodies the unique features of the Big Sur region. It emphasizes a dramatic interplay between light and shadow, with a vibrant and harmonious blend of colors. In the foreground, a prominently outlined tree branch stretches across the composition, its dark silhouette contrasting sharply against the lighter sky. Rolling hills and dense clusters of trees extend towards the background, where the landscape dissolves into misty hues. The shore, with its jagged rocks and gentle waves, frames the lower part of the scene, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. Buoyed by meticulous detail and atmospheric depth, the artwork captures an almost dreamlike quality that is characteristic of Magic Realism, portraying the natural beauty of the coastline with both realism and enchantment.
