During the crisis years, Gerrit de Jong (1905-1978) took the risky step of making a living from art. That wasn't fat. During the war years, he even traded his paintings for food. At a young age, De Jong became a factory worker at the Chocolate and Cocoa Factory Pette in Wormerveer, where he lost an eye in an industrial accident. As an autodidact, he developed into a skilled painter and graphic artist in the 1930s. The emphasis in his work was mainly on the pursuit of technical perfection. As a member of The Independents, he regularly exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum.
