Dick Bruna published his first picture book, "the apple", in 1953. This book was published in rectangular format, with an illustration and two lines of text on every page. The first book about Miffy, simply titled "miffy", was published two years later. The book "miffy at the zoo" was published later that same year. From 1959 onwards, the books wer...
Dick Bruna's earliest rectangular books, published before the square format was adopted in 1959, are now true collectors’ items! As a tribute to these first seven books (none of which will be reissued), the publishing company began numbering the square books at No. 8.
Dick Bruna's style is immediately recognisable because of its simplicity and universal appeal. The simplicity leaves plenty of room for children to use their own imagination. Dick Bruna’s work is characterised by thick black outlines drawn with a paintbrush (which show the ‘heartbeat’ of the artist) and vibrant colours. His confident lines convey a...
Dick Bruna used only a limted range of colours: red, yellow, blue, green and black. He occasionally used brown and grey, and used orange even more rarely. You are unlikely to find purple in his books, because Dick doesn’t like purple! Dick Bruna’s books are printed in unique colours, mixed specially for him. Because Dick Bruna liked his red to be w...
Dick Bruna originally designed book covers for his father’s publishing company, A.W. Bruna & Zoon. He gained renown with his book cover designs for the Black Bear pocket editions, for which he also designed the logo and various posters. When he began creating picture books, he adopted the same graphic approach he used for his cover designs. He redu...
When Dick Bruna's books were first published, many adults were not impressed. There was very little text in the books and his drawings were thought to be too basic, lacking in detail. Today, it's hard to imagine they prompted this response! But children loved the books right from the start. Dick Bruna's colours instantly appealed to them, and they ...
Dick Bruna’s wife, Irene, always played a key role in the creation of the books. His creative routine was always the same over the years. Dick would work on a new book in silence, never discussing the project while work was still underway. Once the book was finished, Dick would invite Irene over to the studio, where she was always the first person ...
More than 85 million copies of Dick Bruna's books have been printed over the years. The books have been translated into more than 50 languages and are read by children all over the world. In February 2011, his books appeared in Russian (50th languauge) for the first time. This was a wish come true for Dick Bruna.
Whatever his characters are doing in the books, Dick Bruna always draws them looking straight at the reader. He tried drawing their faces in profile, but felt this looked strange. On rare occasions, characters are depicted from behind, but never in profile. The posters he designed for the Black Bear pocket editions sometimes show characters in prof...
Dick Bruna created books that he himself found aesthetically pleasing. He wanted to produce beautiful prints that stand alone as graphic designs. The fact that his books are loved by children worldwide is simply an added bonus. Dick always said he saw the world though the eyes of a four-year-old, which may explain the appeal of his books. Even when...
