In 1993 after a long career in the arts, art teaching and art commissions Peter Jansen left his home base The Hague in the Netherlands and together with his wife Louise he started an almost non-stop travel of 20 years around the world. His studio was replaced by a digital camera and a laptop computer with graphic software and he started to record these endless travels. He reverted to his old habit of occasionally making panoramic pictures of places he used to stumble across. Already in 1978 he made one of the first, a quintuple piece of the sky between Rue Benoit and Rue de Rennes in Paris. Only in 1982 and still in analogue prints the first so called ‘Vista’ – as he called them from this time – was a view of West 53rd Street made from the 35th floor of the New York Hilton. From 1993 on, during the start of his journey across the world, more of these vistas followed. In a way they are characterized by a technique that resembles ‘painting with photo prints’.
