About Yellow Leaves

The artwork titled “Yellow Leaves,” created by Eyvind Earle in 1988 within the United States, exemplifies the Magic Realism art movement and belongs to the landscape genre. The composition is a striking example of how Earle integrates fantastical elements with real-world natural scenes.

In the artwork, Earle employs a vibrant palette of blues, greens, and yellows to depict a surreal, tranquil landscape. The foreground features a meandering path flanked by verdant, rounded hillocks, punctuated by leafless white trees casting delicate shadows on the ground. Dominating the upper part of the artwork is a branch laden with a cluster of yellow leaves, extending outwards in a graceful arch, contrasting against the deep, almost ethereal blue of the hills in the background. These hills, shrouded in mist, recede into the distance, giving the scene a dreamlike depth and atmosphere. The overall composition is meticulously detailed yet stylized, capturing the essence of a whimsical and serene natural setting.
