Ron Ekkelenkamp - ACRYL 'Portret Marko Fondse' - ingelijst - 61B - Sold

Marko Fondse was a gifted boy from a poor, sectarian religious environment in which he hardly came into contact with culture. At a young age, Fondse chose to take music lessons: piano and violin. Moreover, "he also devoured every book that came into his hands." During a protracted depression in the late 1970s, a psychiatrist advised him to "stop his literary work and focus solely on music." Previously, he had been a man "who drank every construction worker under the table, who could feast exuberantly and then dance the sirtaki." Marko Fondse and Ron knew each other from Greece.
