Eyvind Earle

(American, 1916–2000)

Eyvind Earle was an American painter and illustrator best known for his work painting the backgrounds of Disney animations. Born on April 26, 1916 in New York, New York, Earle began painting at a young age and had his first solo show in Paris at the age of 14. His oeuvre, often rendered in oil or through serigraph printing, depicted simple, imagined landscapes, often in dark blues and greens. Earle received the Windsor McCay Award for lifetime achievement in animation at the 26th Annie Awards in 1998, and was inducted as a Disney Legend in 2015. “For 70 years, I’ve painted paintings, and I’m constantly and everlastingly overwhelmed at the stupendous infinity of nature,” the artist remarked. “Wherever I turn and look, there I see creation. Art is creating...Art is the search for truth.” Earle died on July 20, 2000 in Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA.
