Stories, legends, myths – not those of universal nature, but of the local world, of a specific micro-culture are the themes of Branko Ćopić’s poetry for children gathered in the collection Mala moja iz Bosanske Krupe (My Little Girl from Bosanska Krupa), published in 1971 by the Sarajevo daily newspaper and publishing company Oslobođenje. Said the famous art critic Edward Lucie Smith about Berber. His forms have a fullness and solidity few artists can manage now”, Berber draws with a fluency and confidence that has almost entirely disappeared from the art in Western Europe and the United States. “Berber has an astonishing skill as a draftsman. Themes, subjects and forms of his art are – for connoisseurs – a precursor to Post-Modernism in contemporary painting.

In 1963, he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana in the class of the professor Maksim Sedej and completed the specialist course in graphic art in 1965 in the class of the professor Riko Debenjak. Mersad Berber (Bosanski Petrovac 1940 – Zagreb 2012) was one of the most prolific artists of Bosnia and Herzegovina of the second half of the 20th century.
