The museum is dedicating a temporary exhibition to the artist Dick Bruna.
Dick Bruna’s name is primarily associated with the character of Miffy, the famous white rabbit now found in museum shops, bookstores, and toy stores. A Dutch artist who spent most of his life in the Netherlands, Dick Bruna was born in 1927 and died in 2017.
His style, infinitely free of all artifice, and his concise palette owe much to the artists he discovered as a young adult, frequenting Parisian museums. Matisse, in particular, was instrumental in developing his striking, simple, and powerful style.
Dick Bruna produced over 120 picture books, not to mention the crime novel covers he designed early on. Translated and published in more than 50 languages, he is a discreet man, with a refined style, who has won the hearts of children for more than 70 years, whom the museum gives you the opportunity to discover.
