- Dick Elffers (Rotterdam, 1910 – Amsterdam, 1990) attended the art academy in the late 1920s. Trained as a graphic designer, he will work as a teacher at the academy after his training. During and after his studies he assisted designers Paul Schuitema and Piet Zwart, with whom he worked for seven years and became his most important assistant. In May 1940, his studio in Rotterdam was bombed and he moved to Amsterdam. After the war he developed into a versatile artist and leading designer, working for the Rijksmuseum and the Holland Festival, among others. He immerses himself in all kinds of disciplines, as a painter, draftsman, graphic artist, designer, sculptor, illustrator and realizes seventeen typographic book projects. He develops in various fields such as ceramic reliefs, tapestries and architectural designs. From 1970 to 1976 he taught monumental art at the art academy in Den Bosch. For his work he received the HN Werkman Prize and the State Prize for Typography and his work was included in the museum collections.
