Comments on: Charles Jones, Gardener & Photographer https://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/03/09/charles-jones-gardener-photographer/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Fri, 12 Jun 2020 03:30:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Isobelle https://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/03/09/charles-jones-gardener-photographer/#comment-1341819 Fri, 12 Jun 2020 03:30:40 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=57651#comment-1341819 I did a search on this photographer and came across your blog (- marvellous.) The photographs are sheer beauty, apart from the technical abilities – the simplicity conveys the photographers love of the vegetables he grew. Your blog is a breath of fresh air with so much poor reporting and media rubbish. Thank you.

These photos are works of art. And thanks for telling us something about this photographer. It’s a pity he wasn’t recognised in his lifetime

They remind me of a photograph I once saw in the Museum of Contemprary Art in Barcelona. A peapod, opened, simple and perfect. Very like Charles Jones’ broad bean photo. Can’t remember who did it though.

His style bears some similarity to that of Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932) – I wonder who was influenced by whom…??
KB’s images are sometimes not immediately recognizable as plant material – often bordering on the abstract. By contrast, CJ’s work seems much more ‘accessible’ and readily recognizable – but nonetheless very appealing.

Many thanks for introducing me to his work !
