Navitrolla is a very remarkable artist. First of all, he is very
beautiful (see picture). Secondly, he knows what beauty is. An Estonian
proverb says, 'After great beauty, there come tears', but this is not
the kind of beauty Navitrolla makes, nor wants to make. Navitrolla
lives in south Estonia, near a large fir-tree in a thick forest (see
picture). There, he has many cows, sheep, horses and other animals,
and, on top of that, very many plants. Navitrolla has to produce
pictures all the time, so that he can buy food for his animals and
plants. His hands (and feet) are always full, but Navitrolla doesn't
mind. He loves his work. He doesn't particularly like the animals, but
that's just the way things are.

The story of Navitrolla's Gallery |

Navitrolla was certainly very diligent and industrious, but one day,
even he could no longer paint as many pictures or draws as many
graphics as the people wanted. Under great strain, his hands began to
shake, water ran from his eyes and his head began to ache from the
invention of new ideas. But, as the old folk say, the bigger the
trouble is, the closer the answer. His friends and acquaintances came
and helped, and so established the Navitrolla United Factories (NUF).
Thousands of miners put special helmets with lamps on them on their
heads, hundreds of workers took up their oily spanners, tens of
chimneys began to billow out steam into the skies of Estonia, and
printing presses started to hum. Whole teams of sharp-eyed connoisseurs
and market researchers toiled with the aim of selecting the best, most
beautiful and most brilliant of Navitrolla's works.
