Early Poortvliet

The Dutch artist Rien Poortvliet (1932-1995) is best know for "Gnomes" and many other illustrated books. But before he did those works on his own, he was a prolific book and advertising illustrator.

Blog reader Christoph Hueur went to the Rien Poortvliet museum and was allowed to take some pictures from Poortvliet's early illustrated books. You can survey his image collection here: http://web.me.com/heuerdesign/Gefunden/album_poortvliet_pim_frits_en_ida.html

Thanks, Christoph! http://www.christophheuer.com/
