In the limit of an infinite number of colors, we derive an analytic expression for the quark condensation in QCD{sub 1+1} as a function of the quark mass and the gauge coupling constant. For zero quark mass, a nonvanishing quark condensate is obtained. Nevertheless, we prove that there is no phase transition as a function of the quark mass. It is furthermore shown that the expansion of {l_angle}0{vert_bar}{bar {psi}{psi}}{vert_bar}0{r_angle} in the gauge coupling has zero radius of convergence but that the perturbation series is Borel summable with finite radius of convergence. The nonanalytic behavior m{sub q}{yields}0 {approximately} {minus}N{sub C}{radical}G{sup 2} can only be obtained by summing the perturbation series to infinite order.
