One of the most beautiful illustrated books according to Saskia de Bodt (De Groene Amsterdammer):
“Another tormented illustrator was Tinus van Doorn. After his self-chosen death during the German invasion, the small book The Farmer and the Fox was published posthumously in 1945, a fable in which a farmer exchanges all kinds of possessions and is ultimately left penniless because a fox eats everything.
'The nice thing is that Van Doorn did everything himself. He wrote the verses and made the expressionistic, linoleum-cut prints himself. He was actually a painter, but he decided to make a book anyway; not a children's book, but a fable for all ages.
This book communicates something and is witty, also in the details. His style has a modernist clarity. It is very direct, with only a few lines and many primary colors. ”
