Henk Krijger was an artist, sculptor, muralist, typography, illustrator, and book designer who moved between the worlds of design and fine art. Krijger was born in 1914 on the tiny island of Sumba in the Malaysian archipelago to Dutch Protestant-reformed missionaries. He attended school in Amsterdam and later lived in the Chicago area while working as the Master Artist for the Institute for Christian Art. He designed or illustrated books for the Dutch publisher Stichting De Roos. His designs appeared seventeen times in the Dutch Fifty Best Books list.
The Grand Valley State University Art Gallery recently added 70 works of art spanning most of Krijger's career to the online collection. To view these works click
