    From Lenona@21:1/5 to All on Fri Aug 4 23:10:21 2023
    His birthday was yesterday. Born in Purworedjo, Indonesia, he now lives in Haarlem, the Netherlands.

    From Lambiek:

    "In April 2023, on the occasion of the artist's upcoming 90th birthday, a large overview exposition of Thé Tjong-Khing's work was curated by Tonio van Vugt in the Verwey Museum in Haarlem. The exhibition also offers room for a selection of illustrators
    who are inspired by Thé Tjong-Khing's work, consisting of Emanuel Wiemans (1975), Marloes de Vries (1984), Janneke Ipenburg (1979) and Branco Suijkerbuijk (2005)."
