Awaking Beauty - The Art Of Eyvind Earle.pdf Better -

Eyvind Earle was born on October 1, 1902, in Chicago, Illinois, to Norwegian immigrant parents. He grew up in a family of artists and musicians, which encouraged his creative pursuits from an early age. Earle began drawing and painting as a child and went on to study art at the Art Institute of Chicago and the American Academy of Art.

By the time he joined Disney in 1951, Earle was already an accomplished fine artist. However, it was his work on the 1959 film Sleeping Beauty that solidified his legend. The film is not merely an animated feature; it is a moving Eyvind Earle painting. Every background, every tree root, every gothic spire was filtered through his unique lens. The search for often stems from a desire to isolate these backgrounds from the film and study them as pure graphic design. Awaking Beauty - The Art Of Eyvind Earle.pdf
