Fiep Westendorp

Fiep Westendorp (1916-2004) was one of Holland's most beloved illustrators. She became famous through her collaboration with Annie M.G. Schmidt, with whom she created such classics as Jip and Janneke and Pluk van de Petteflet. Her drawing style, playful, recognizable and full of character, still appeals to the imagination today. In addition to her work with Schmidt, she also created her own characters, such as the cats Pim & Pom. These cheerful duos demonstrate her talent for humor and detail. Fiep's work lives on on IXXI's wall decorations. © Fiep Amsterdam bv; Fiep Westendorp Illustrations.
