A stunning collection of portraits of vegetables, fruits, and flowers by a turn-of-the-twentieth-century visionary
In 1981, at Bermondsey Market in London, Sean Sexton, the Irish-born photographic collector, chanced upon the gelatin silver prints of photographer Charles Jones. Dating from the turn of the century, these beguiling studio “portraits” of tulips and sunflowers, onions and turnips, plums and pears are skillfully executed and startling in their originality. Shot as close-ups, with long exposure and spare composition, the works anticipate by decades the later achievements of modernist masters.
This volume presents Jones’s photography in sections devoted to vegetables, flowers, and fruit, with captions taken from Jones’s own identifications, written by hand on the back of the prints. Renowned writer and restaurateur Alice Waters describes the simple beauty of the photographs in the preface. Robert Flynn Johnson contextualizes the work in the still life tradition and pieces together the fragmentary evidence about the life of this mysterious figure, who trained as a gardener and worked on a number of private estates, but who left no notes or diaries to explain why he photographed the plants he saw every day. The perfect antidote to appetites jaded by processed foods and late twentieth-century consumerism, the legacy of Charles Jones is a reminder of the bountiful riches of nature. 117 illustrations in color and black-and-white

The Face in the Lens: Anonymous Photographs

Anonymous photography has a magic all its own. The intriguing images assembled here by collector and curator Robert Flynn Johnson are all mysterious, but their appeal is various. By turns poignant, humorous, erotic, and disturbing, their subject is the human condition. In ten stunning chapters every aspect of human experience—both public and private—is explored. Richly reproduced and with subtle tonalities marking their age, over 220 photographs showcase the work of photographers whose identities have been lost in time. The images are never anything less than mesmerizing and include previously unseen portraits of such stars as Cary Grant, Richard Burton, and Marlene Dietrich. Introduced by Alexander McCall Smith, this follow-up to Johnson's widely acclaimed Anonymous touches on birth, marriage, death, disease, hope, glory, and despair and a plethora of additional emotions, events, and human states, and will capture the imagination of any reader.

Peter Milton is one of America's most intriguing artists. His black-and-white figurative etchings and engravings are at once surreal, erotic, and technically complex. This fascinating volume showcases all of Milton's etchings to date, from 1960 to the present, including two extensive series that illustrate the Henry James masterworks The Jolly Corner and The Aspern Papers. The etchings, many of which are accompanied by details enlarged to actual size, are illuminated by an in-depth introduction by curator Robert Flynn Johnson. Providing added insight into Milton's career and techniques are a fascinating interview between Johnson and Milton and Milton's essay about his famous Daylilies and Nijinsky Variations series and the inspirations behind them. A biography and bibliography complete this rich portfolio.
