Peter van Dongen Books

Peter van Dongen is an artist with a remarkable drawing talent that manifested from a young age. His work, particularly his comics, is strongly influenced by the 'ligne claire' (clear line) style, reminiscent of Hergé's creations. However, Van Dongen enriches this style with his own approach, which is more cinematic, employing a dynamic intercutting of scenes and perspectives informed by contemporary television. His narratives often explore historical themes and personal stories set against complex social and political backdrops.
