Dick Elffers

Dirk Cornelis "Dick" Elffers (Rotterdam, 9 December 1910 – Amsterdam, 17 June 1990) was a Dutch artist.

[1] While at Rotterdam, he developed a more expressive and individualistic style, often combining hand-drawn typography, illustration, and vibrant colors.

From this, his development turned him into a versatile artist: illustrator, painter, printmaker, book binding designer, sculptor, ceramist and photographer.

[citation needed] Notably, he worked on projects like the 1965 exhibition "40 Years of Lace," showcasing his skills in integrating visual and spatial design for cultural institutions.

[6] Elffers' work was included in the 1939 exhibition and sale Onze Kunst van Heden (Our Art of Today) at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
