The esteemed artist, Eyvind Earle, left an indelible mark on the world of animation, lending his talents to the creation of backgrounds for Disney's timeless classics, including "Sleeping Beauty" and "Lady and the Tramp", among others.
Walt Disney himself took notice of Earle's remarkable work after being impressed by the avant-garde style he brought to the Oscar- and Cannes-award-winning short film "Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom".
Earle's artistic prowess was evident from a young age, as he held his first exhibition in France at the tender age of 13, already establishing himself as a talented artist.
At 23, Earle made history by selling his first watercolor to the esteemed Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, a testament to his growing reputation as a master of his craft.
The 1940s saw Earle's creative output reach new heights, as he painted an astonishing 800 landscapes for Christmas cards, cementing his status as a prolific and talented artist.
