Joost Swarte
Posted by Fabio 15 February 2011
Placing human behaviour in an ironic perspective – that is what Joost Swarte aims for with his drawings. Swarte was part of the seminal seventies generation that brought comics to an adult audience. In 1976 he coined the term Klare Lijn to describe the style that connected the artists who inspired Tintin creator, Hergé – as well as those who were influenced by the master himself.
