Edgar Valter

Edgar Valter, a well-known and beloved illustrator of children’s books, without whose emotional pictures one cannot imagine, for example, the books and movies of Eno Raud’s Naksitrallid (Three Jolly Fellows), is less well known as a painter. However, while painting, he created perceptions of the viewer of the illustrations in his children’s books, who is a child, a grateful and sincere audience of the artist. In this painting, we see a brave girl whose thinking has no limits, flying images straight into the sky. Her feet are on the ground in the middle of a grain field, while thoughts are already in the sky. For a child, it seems that anything is possible.
