Aart van Dobbenburgh (Amsterdam, September 30, 1899 – Haarlem, July 3, 1988) was a Dutch artist and graphic artist.
Van Dobbenburgh became known for his lithographs. He drew various subjects, such as flowers, portraits, landscapes, but human hands were his favorite.
His total lithographic oeuvre is estimated at around 800 works. He also made a number of woodcuts and watercolours. Nationally known are the lithographs of mother queen Emma (1936), his cousin dr. Willem Drees (1949), Henriette Roland Holst (1949) and the then queen Juliana (1961).
Van Dobbenburgh illustrated works by the Russian writers Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, among others. In 1949 Tolstoy's 'War and Peace' was published with lithographs of the main characters by Van Dobbenburgh. He also drew 'Katusha' and 'Maria' from Tolstoy's Resurrection and Anna Karenina based on the novels of the same name.
Van Dobbenburgh's work is represented in the Rijksprentenkabinet in Amsterdam, the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam, the Jeroen Boschhuis in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague, the Dutch Lithography Museum in Valkenswaard, the Teylers Museum in Haarlem, the Museu de Ovar in Portugal and in private collections throughout the world.
