van DONGEN

van DONGEN
   Working name of US illustrator Henry Richard van Dongen (1920-). Entering the sf field in 1950 with a cover for SUPER SCIENCE STORIES (Sep 1950), vD soon dominated the covers (and the interiors) of ASTOUNDING SCIENCE-FICTION, with 46 covers Aug 1951-Sep 1961. He seldom worked for other magazines, but did 3 covers for SCIENCE FICTION ADVENTURES, including \#1 (Nov 1952). His style was very distinctive, with muted colours and gaunt, angular people. He left the genre in 1961 for the more lucrative commercial-art field, returning in 1976 as a result of a chance conversation with Lester DEL REY at BALLANTINE BOOKS. For the next decade he did covers for Ballantine and DAW BOOKS in a style similar to his 1950s magazine work but with much brighter colours. He retired in 1987 with nerve problems related to injuries suffered in WWII.
