AMSTERDAM.- Graphic designer, illustrator and author of children’s books Dick Bruna (1927) has agreed a long-term loan of a selection of his work to the Print Room of the Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands. His designs for paperback covers, advertising material and children’s books, obviously including Miffy, cover the period from 1953 to 2007. The Rijksmuseum has selected over 120 creations on paper from Bruna’s body of work. The selection includes famous designs such as the Zwarte Beertjes paperback covers (Havank, Charteris and Simenon) from the 1960s and 1970s, advertising campaigns (the poster for buttermilk with the slogan ‘Karnemelk, omdat ’t zo fris is’ [‘Buttermilk, because it’s so refreshing’]) and final drawings in poster paint for the book ‘Circus’.
