The unmistakable style of Dick Bruna
At first glance, the style of Miffy's illustrator, Dick Bruna, seems childlike and simple. But make no mistake, the shapes and colors are in reality very well thought out. It is precisely the far-reaching stylization and simplification that give Bruna's illustrations their powerful effect. His work not only resonates with children, but also appeals to adults.
A visionary artist
Bruna's illustrations are nothing short of visionary and progressive. He drew inspiration from avant-gardists such as Braque, Picasso, Matisse and Léger. The use of color, lack of perspective and simplicity in his work fascinated him. Bruna himself experimented with a bright use of color and the omission of details, resulting in his own unique style.
