The artwork named “Horses by the Sea,” created by artist Eyvind Earle, belongs to the art movement “Magic Realism” and falls within the genre of landscape art.
The artwork features a surreal and enchanting coastal scene, primarily characterized by its juxtaposition of shapes and colors that convey a sense of otherworldly serenity. In the foreground, a group of horses can be seen gracefully moving along a sunlit path. The luminous yellow hue of the sand pathway contrasts strikingly with the darker, densely clustered, and intricately detailed foliage that surrounds it. The trees are depicted in fantastical forms, almost resembling clusters of soft, gem-like entities. Shadows cast by the horses create an added dimension of depth and realism, enhancing the magical quality of the scene. The composition skillfully blends elements of natural beauty with a dreamlike atmosphere, an exemplar of the Magic Realism movement.
