Gauguin und Van Gogh

From 1992, Bastei Verlag published this single-issue comic by Dutch master Dick Matena, who both wrote and illustrated the work. The story explores the fraught, creative relationship between two of art history’s most iconic painters, Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh. Matena’s distinctive, expressive linework brings their turbulent friendship to life, offering a thoughtful, intimate glimpse into the artists’ lives. It remains a notable example of biographical comics from a European publisher, blending fine art with the comic medium.
