“This book represents the serigraphs which were printed and published from 1991 to 2000; poems, writings and drawings.
In this second volume, I have also included images of the paintings that I have chosen to be released as future limited editions serigraphs, beyond the year 2000. The time of their release is irrelevant. I wanted to have a good book to show the artwork, past present and future.” Eyvind Earle
Born in New York city in 1916, Eyvind Earle began his prolific career at an early age at the urging of his father, Ferdinand Earle. From the time of his first one-man showing in France at the age of 14, Eyvind Earle fame had grown staedly. At the age of 21, Earle opened at the Charles Morgan gallery in New York, and later the Metropolitan Museum of Art purchased one of his paintings fro their permanent collection. In 1951 Earle joined Disney, and was reponsible for styling, background and colors of "Sleeping Beauty". Worked on "Peter Pan", "Lady and the Tramp" and won in 1953 an Academy Award for "Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom". After about 15 years creating animated art, Earle returned to painting full time in 1966 and kept working until the end of his life in 2000.
