Edgar Valter, who as an artist was self-taught, is a unique phenomenon in our cultural history. Before embarking on the path of art, he worked as a sailor, painter and transport worker, later as a decoration studio worker of the Art Products Combine, but from 1950 on as a freelance artist. Valter was one of the most individual authors who, in addition to illustrating, has created numerous imaginative and dreamy compositions with landscapes and figures. The artist is known for his brilliantly witty cartoons and striking children's book designs, although his legacy includes a considerable number of independent fantasy paintings. The vivid imagination of the author and the sometimes surreal landscape seem to be both far away and right here, as if creating their own fairy tale. All we need to do is to be able to believe in miracles as fervently as the artist. A charming small-format painting with a boy and a bird belongs to Valter's early work. The boy in this painting would be like a generalization of the child who always lives in us, who, looking at the blue sky, is looking for his bird, flying after him to discover the world
