MIFFY THE ARTIST (HARDBACK)

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 Leger and Braque. This 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 Ever since Dick Bruna first created Miffy in 1955 she has endeared herself to generations of young children. She is now one of the best loved children's characters of all time. In this charming new addition to her story Miffy takes inspiration from a visit to an art gallery and decides to become an artist herself. Looking at the colour and shapes of the world around her she discovers what fun it can be to make pictures of the things she sees. By bedtime her walls are full of all her wonderful artworks. The perfect gift for a budding artist this is a charming book from one of the master illustrators of our time.
