Published by Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum and designed by Irma Boom, this playful book offers surprising juxtapositions of the familiar, colourful drawings by illustrator Dick Bruna wit h objects from the museum’s collection. Notable works by Dutch masters like Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Van der Helst are presented along with a few by more recent artists, such as George Hendrik Breitner and Jan Schoonhoven. Objects from the colonial period, like a painted ceramic monkey or a golden jug in the shape of a war elephant, add to the fun. Each page unfolds to reveal a detail of the artwork or object, divulging the association between it and Bruna’s simple, original illustrations.
