Best known for her macabre and often surreal humor, Jacqueline de Jong's career spanned six decades, including work in sculpture, jewelry, and graphic design focusing on themes of war, violence, sex, and death.
De Jong's art featured nonsensical yet suggestive titles and reflected her anarchic wit, such as 'Suicidal Paintings' and 'Sneaky Guardian,' besides innovative pieces like Pommes de Jong, gold-plated earrings made from potato tubers.
Despite experiencing the Nazi occupation during her childhood and her recent works touching on refugee crises, De Jong avoided directly linking her personal experiences to her art, aiming for a more universal representation of people and things.
