Der Künstler und das blaue Pferd

A child begins to paint: a blue horse, a yellow cow, a black polar bear, and other very special animals. This results in wonderful artworks full of energy and vibrancy.

In the midi edition of his popular picture book, Eric Carle invites everyone to trust their own creativity. Allowing one's own creations the freedom to flourish without constraining rules - this principle has been a guiding force for Eric Carle throughout decades of his picture book art. The foundation for this belief was laid by his art teacher, who showed him works of Expressionism. The images of Franz Marc left a particularly deep impression on him. This book is a tribute to him.
