About Towering Oak

“Towering Oak” is a landscape artwork created by Eyvind Earle in 1987, in the United States. It belongs to the Magic Realism art movement and highlights Earle’s remarkable use of vibrant colors and meticulous detailing to bring natural elements to life.

The artwork prominently features a commanding, gnarled oak tree, likely old and sturdy, set against a strikingly surreal and meticulously detailed background. Its sprawling branches, devoid of leaves, twist and turn, extending almost like tendrils across the canvas. The bark of the oak is intricately textured, showcasing Earle’s adeptness in portraying minute details. The backdrop, rendered in a palette of blues and greens, encapsulates rolling hills and distant trees, bathed in the soft, ethereal light of either dawn or dusk. At the base of the tree, a solitary horse grazes peacefully, adding a sense of tranquility and scale to the otherwise majestic and imposing scene. The combination of realism and fantastical elements solidifies the artwork’s place within the Magic Realism movement.
