The artwork, titled “Mystic Mountain,” was created by Eyvind Earle in 1989 in the United States. It belongs to the Magic Realism art movement and falls within the landscape genre.
“Mystic Mountain” depicts a surreal and enchanting landscape, characterized by its lush, undulating hills and vividly colored foliage. An overarching, dark tree branch with detailed leaves, interspersed with vibrant red accents, frames the top portion of the artwork. Below, the terrain is composed of rounded, bush-like forms in an array of colors, creating a mystical and otherworldly scene. Patches of light and shadow interplay across the landscape, enhancing the depth and fantastical nature of the scene. Mist or soft fog drifts through the image, adding an ethereal quality. The technique and composition reflect Eyvind Earle’s distinctive style and his mastery in creating a dreamlike realism that combines both the magical and the natural.
