Marten Jongema (1951-2011) established himself as a graphic designer with the posters for ‘The Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ (1984-1987). He designed book covers for various authors like Connie Palmen and posters for Theatergroep Carrousel. Jongema occupied a special position among his colleagues: while many seized the computer in the 1980s, he continued to paint and draw. Often in combination with photographs associating with the subject of the poster, this method resulted in his characteristic poetical images.
