As far back as I can remember, and I am 81 years old now, I have always loved art… after the war, I went to Paris, and there I discovered the great works of Matisse, Picasso, Léger and Braque. moreThis was the turning point in my life. I came back to the Netherlands, knowing that I wanted to be an artist, and full of inspiration based on the artistic styles I had seen. In a way, the simple story of miffy the artist encapsulates what happened to me. I hope it inspires parents to introduce art to their children as early as possible!' – Dick Bruna The perfect gift for a budding artist, this is a charming book from one of the master illustrators of our time.
