After graduating with flying colours from the Royal College of Arts and Crafts in ’s Hertogenbosch, in 1938 Fiep was admitted to the Art Academy in Rotterdam.
‘I had a broad training, and I have always been glad of that. What I wanted to do most was illustrations, but
a teacher said to me: “If you want to make a certain kind of music, you should practise many kinds of music”. So I studied all drawing and painting techniques.’
