Dick Bruna
Dick Bruna (1927 – 2017) was a Dutch author, artist, illustrator and graphic designer. Bruna wanted to be an artist, therefore he traveled to London and lived for a while in Paris, where he fell under the influence of Fernand Léger, Pablo Picasso, and especially Henri Matisse. Bruna is best known for his children's books which he authored and illustrated, numbering over 200. His most notable creation was Miffy (Nijntje in the original Dutch), a small rabbit drawn with heavy graphic lines, simple shapes and primary colours (represented on the postcard in my collection). Aside from his prolific catalog of children's books, Bruna also illustrated and designed book covers, posters and promotional materials for his father's publishing company A.W. Bruna & Zoon.
