Dick Bruna & Miffy

Dick Bruna (1927-2017) was an artist and graphic designer from Utrecht, Holland, well known for his illustrations and book covers with roots in De Stijl and Dutch contemporary art. In 1955 she created the little figure Miffy (Nijntje), a bunny girl with many friends, embodied with the same simplicity in color and form as Rietveld's architecture and furniture.

L'exposition a Vandalorum pode a l'artistry de Dick Bruna a développé dans un “Miffy village” met housesos de diferentes colores para entrar y experiencia diferentes partes del mundo Miffy. Collaborating partner for the exhibition is the Central Museum in Utrecht.

She is small and white and the next sixty years old. She is friendly and caring and loved by young and old all over the world. She's a masterpiece by Dutch artist Dick Bruna, she's a little white rabbit named Miffy and now she's coming to Sweden for real. The first major presentation of Miffy, o Nijntje, came and is a chiamato stato alla casa nell'Holanda, è stato presentato questo fallo alla Vandalorum. It is quite a given that it will be precisely at Vandalorum, which is a center of art and design, but also a place for limitless experiences between different disciplines, expressions and traditions.

Dick Bruna (b. 1927) is an artist inspired by Matisse and Léger, but also associated with the Dutch innovators Mondriaan, De Stijl, Rietveld... Miffy is the child of the same consistent modernism. If you ask her creator Dick Bruna about why she has become so popular, he replies: “Because she's so simple. Everything I do I try to make simple, with plenty of room for every viewer's own imagination...” But then Dick Bruna is a superb artist, mastering his means to the point that the hardest of all seems utterly straightforward. His total humanism and empathy is an unstructured and global expression.‍
