Dick Bruna (1927–2017) established himself internationally as a graphic designer through Nijntje—better known outside the Netherlands as Miffy, one of the world’s most beloved children’s characters. What is less widely known, however, is the remarkable breadth of his creative practice beyond Miffy.
This book explores Dick Bruna’s multifaceted career as an artist, illustrator, and graphic designer. Rather than focusing solely on his work as the creator of children’s books, it sheds light on his achievements across a wide range of creative fields, making it a true monograph of his life and work.
Spanning more than 550 pages, the book presents an extensive archive of Bruna’s career, including his years as a graphic designer at Uitgeverij Bruna and later at his own studio. Essays by specialists from different disciplines examine the many facets of his talent, while hundreds of illustrations, graphic designs, photographs, and archival materials—ranging from his best-known works to rarely seen projects—are reproduced throughout.
ディック・ブルーナの半生にフォーカスした作品集で、ミッフィの歴史やブラックベア、小説のカバーデザインなど500ページ以上にわたる図録です。
