Nico Bulder (1898–1964) was a Dutch painter, illustrator, and graphic artist known for his landscapes, portraits, and work in printmaking.
Between 1919 and 1924 he worked as a draughtsman on the Gideon shipyard in Groningen. When the shipyard closed, he decided to pursue an art teaching degree at the Academie Minerva in Groningen. After his graduation in 1928, he became an art teacher at the Instituut Hommes in Hoogezand. After the War in 1945, he joined 'Academie Minerva' to teach drawing, etching, batiking, lithography and stained glass design.
Bulder is considered one of the best European 'Ex Libris' creators of his time.
