New Book
About the life and work of Marjon de Jong, among other things, with a part of her artwork ‘Into Space’ on the cover.
Her place in this book among the celebrities of Zen history can be considered the crowning glory of her work as she will celebrate her 40th anniversary as a Sumi-E artist in 2025.
In 'De vonk en de vlam' ('The Spark and the Flame') five lives of people, who have tried to express the essence of Zen, are portrayed. The spark of Zen once ignited in the lives of the Zen masters Dogen, Basho and Ryokan, the English writer R.H. Blyth and the Dutch Sumi-E master and artist Marjon de Jong. Each in their own way passed on that fire to the next generations.
