Miffy XXL Miffy (Collector's Edition)
Recommended retail price: €2.995,00
In the world of art and illustration, simplicity is sometimes the highest form of complexity. No one embodied this principle better than Dick Bruna, the Dutch artist who conquered the world with a seemingly simple rabbit named Miffy.
Bruna's story is one of revolution – not with words or violence, but with lines and colors. Inspired by the great avant-gardists of his time – Braque, Picasso, Matisse, and Léger – he began to experiment with art that blurred the lines between childlike simplicity and profound design.
His method was almost philosophical: the fewer details, the more powerful the message. He reduced forms to their essence, used colors so bright and pure that they almost lived on the paper. And at the center of this artistic journey stood Miffy – more than a rabbit, an icon of Dutch design history.
'nijntje xxl miffy' is more than a book. It is a tribute, a profound exploration of Bruna's artistic universe. With almost 600 pages, it reveals the philosophy behind every line, every color choice, every seemingly simple form.
Publisher Komma and Mercis Publishing have created a collector's item – limited to only 1000 copies, numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Each book is a work of art in itself.
The most special detail? A specially designed book stand by Bob van Dijk, which takes the form of Bruna's famous cross – a small sculpture that perfectly encapsulates the essence of Bruna's art.
This book tells the story of a man who proved that art doesn't have to be complicated to be profound. A story of Miffy, but above all a story of Dick Bruna – the man who saw the world through the simplest, yet most powerful lines.
