About Even Tide

The artwork titled “Even Tide” is a 1994 creation by the artist Eyvind Earle, originating from the United States. It belongs to the Magic Realism art movement and is categorized under the landscape genre.

“Even Tide” presents a stylized depiction of a natural scene characterized by strong contrasts, geometric shapes, and bold colors. In the foreground, the scene is dominated by an expansive field with meticulous rows suggesting agriculture, rendered in greens and vibrant yellows. This area transitions effortlessly into the rolling hills that form middle ground, separated by darker green outlines implying the presence of trees or bushy vegetation. Behind the hills, the viewer can see layered bands of mountains or hills, portrayed in muted blues and purples, creating a sense of depth. The scene is completed by a sky that transitions from a deep navy at the top to brighter bands of blue and yellow, suggestive of either dawn or dusk light. The artwork displays Earleā€™s signature combination of simplicity and complexity; simple because of the clean lines and solid colors, yet complex due to the intricacy of the patterns and the perfect balance of the composition. The trees, which are silhouetted against the contrasting colors of the sky and hills, stand tall and leafless, adding to the graphic quality of the piece.
