Miffy the Artist

Ever since Dick Bruna first created Miffi in 1955, she has endeared herself to generations of young children and has become one of the best-loved children's characters of all time. In this charming new addition of the Miffy story, Miffy takes inspiration from a visit to an art gallery and decides to become an artist herself. Looking at the colour and shapes of the world around her she discovers what fun it can be to make pictures of the things she sees. By bedtime, her bedroom walls are full of her wonderful artwork. The perfect gift for a budding artist, this is a charming book from one of the master illustrators of out time.
Het is voor het eerst dat al deze avant-gardemeesterwerken in Nederland getoond worden. Tentoonstelling en catalogus richten zich op het ontstaan van het modernisme als kunsthistorisch verschijnsel, en evenzeer op de bezieling van de kunstenaars zelf, toen zij aan het begin van de vorige eeuw een revolutie in de kunst ontketenden. Ze zijn te beschouwen als pioniers van de moderne kunst.

Dick Bruna was born in Utrecht, the Netherlands, in 1927. Using clear, bold design and bright color, he has established a design technique that has become internationally recognized. His books, most of them starring the beloved character Miffy, have been translated into more than forty languages.
