Joost SWARTE Verkoop-tentoonstelling (Selling exhibition) Trafic , 2011

Joost Swarte is de uitvinder van de termen « Klare Lijn » en « Atoomstijl ». Zijn stijl laveert met genoegen tussen deze twee grote stromingen in het stripverhaal, met daarbij de steeds aanwezige invloed van zijn oorspronkelijke opleiding: design. Met zijn poëtische en losstaande elementen is de wereld van Swarte duidelijk herkenbaar tussen alle anderen. Naast een vijtigtal grafische juweeltjes, gemaakt sinds de jaren ’70, stelt de tentoonstelling Trafic (de titel is ondermeer een hommage aan de « Hollandse » film van Jacques Tati) een reeks onuitgegeven werken voor die net zoveel variaties zijn op het thema transport. Een thema waar Joost Swarte zich met een ongezien optimisme en welsprekendheid op gooit.

Joost Swarte is the inventor of the terms « Clear Line » and « Atom Style. » His drawing fluctuates with pleasure between these two major trends in comics, all of it being influenced by his initial training in design. With its poetic, playful elements, the world of Swarte is instantly recognizable. In addition to fifty graphic gems created since the ’70s, the exhibition Trafic (the title is, among other things, a tribute to the « Dutch » movie by Jacques Tati) presents a series of unpublished works which are all variations on the theme of transport. A theme which Joost Swarte takes up with optimism and zaniness.

Silent Film Stars Ruth Clifford and Mae Marsh were John Ford favourites and you see them many times, often uncredited, in his films. In 3 Godfathers (1948) we see Ruth Clifford as the Woman at the Bar left of John Wayne, and  Mae Marsh as Mrs Sweet with Ward Bond.
