Book Description
Never before has the work of Dick Bruna been presented in an international art-historical context. Author Caro Verbeek researched art-historical connections to Matisse, Léger and several other artists – selecting works from the Rijksmuseum’s collection of prints to highlight the affinities. By juxtaposing his creations with the work of the artists who inspired him, influence and inspiration become clear at a glance. A separate chapter sheds light on the design process of Miffy. Nowhere is Bruna’s craftsmanship, patience and skill at using colour to create spatiality in a two-dimensional space more evident than in his? at first sight, simple? creation of the world-famous rabbit. This stunningly designed book is an essential art-historical introduction to the work of the renowned graphic designer.00Exhibition: Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, The Netherlands (27.08.2015 - 15.11.2015).
