"Puer" painting by Peter Birkhäuser, 1960. Swiss visionary artist 1911-1976.

Excerpt from "The Dream Artist Nobody Knows About" - Eternalised: "Puer aeternus is eternal youth. This is the boy-god predicted in Revelation as the child who was snatched up to heaven. He is the complete man of the future.Wherever he stretches his hands, new life begins to bloom.

This painting appears in the book Man and His Symbols and symbolises the Self, which does not always take the form of a superior wise old person. Here the Self appears as a marvellous youth. He sits on a white boar-like horse who moves through the dark heavens.

The round object like a sun behind the youth is a symbol of totality and the boy’s four arms recall other “fourfold” symbols that characterise psychological wholeness. Before the boy’s hands hovers a flower – as if he need only raise his hands and a magical flower will appear. He is black because of his nocturnal or unconscious origin."
