Aart van Dobbenburgh (Amsterdam, 30 September 1899 – Haarlem, 3 July 1988) was a Dutch artist and graphic designer.
Van Dobbenburgh became known for his lithographs. He drew various subjects, such as flowers, portraits, and landscapes, but human hands were his favorite.
His total lithographic oeuvre comprises an estimated 800 works. In addition, he created a number of woodcuts and watercolors. Nationally known are the lithographs of his 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 Dostoevsky, 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.
Works by Van Dobbenburgh are represented in the Rijksprentenkabinet in Amsterdam, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Jeroen Boschhuis in 's-Hertogenbosch, Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, Nederlands Steendrukmuseum in Valkenswaard, Teylers Museum in Haarlem, Museu de Ovar in Portugal, and in private collections throughout the world.
