Wind Breaks by Eyvind Earle

A row of cypress trees bends sharply left. Earle’s Wind Breaks tilts the world on its axis. The trees, ink-black against a pale sky, are rendered in flat planes of olive and slate. Their trunks twist like calligraphy, while the wind-raked branches form a jagged horizon. Below, a single ochre field stretches taut, its furrows echoing the trees’ lean. Hang it where morning light can catch the paper’s tooth—above a narrow console or beside a tall window frame.
