"For thirty-five years, Charles Isaacs Photographs, Inc. has maintained a distinguished inventory of 19th and 20th century masterworks of photography. The still life offered here is by Charles Jones, a professional gardener whose photographs remained unknown until 1981. His luminous images of vegetables and fruit, made at the turn of the 20th century, anticipate modernist strategies of depicting objects directly and stripped of context, relating his formal approach to works of Giorgio Morandi, Karl Blossfeldt, and Edward Weston." - Charles Isaacs


Charles Isaacs Photographs, Inc. presents photographs by pioneering French, English, and American artists, Photo-Secession members, and early modernists. They also represent select artists, active from the 1960s to the present, whose image-making confronts conceptual and technical boundaries.
