In his accompanying essay 'Portrait of a Maker', the artist and writer Merlin James approaches Jones's work with the fresh perceptions of a younger generation. He examines the artist's prints and text-related images, his landscapes and seascapes, still-lifes, portraits and mythological subjects, and in contrast to previous literature on Jones, focuses on close individual analysis of key works, such as The Garden Enclosed (1924), Human Being (1931), Manawydan's Glass Door (1932), Briar Cup (1932) and Trystan ac Essyllt (c.1962).
