The Bose form of QCD2 is presented. Weak (m << g) and strong (m >> g) coupling regimes are briefly analyzed. The former corresponds to the quark phase with bound states exhibiting the string picture. Mesons and baryons appear as longitudinal modes of strings represented by electric vortex lines, The latter describes the Bose phase with a spectrum consisting of N colorless scalars and their bound states.
