The artwork titled “Little Big Sur,” created by Eyvind Earle in 1990 in the United States, belongs to the Magic Realism art movement. It falls under the landscape genre.
The artwork portrays a tranquil and mystical landscape scene. Dominated by rich green hues, the depiction features an imposing cliffside adorned with intricate foliage textures. The overhanging branches of a tree stretch inward from the left, while the rugged cliff formation rises on the right, characterized by lush vegetation that cascades down its face. The water in the foreground creates a serene sense of stillness, leading the eye towards the misty horizon. The contrasting colors and intricate details in the foliage contribute to the magic realism effect, transforming a natural scene into one layered with fantastical elements.
