Ik hou heel erg veel van het werk van David Jones. Zijn letters zijn een blijvende inspiratiebron. De vrolijke en bekoorlijke letters staan in schril contrast met het moeilijke leven dat hij had.
I am fond of the work of David Jones. His letters are a permanent source of inspiration. Cheerful and charming letters stand in stark contrast to the difficult life he led.

David Jones (1895-1974) was een dichter, schilder, essayist en maker van inscripties. Er zit een grote muzikaliteit en naïviteit in zijn letters. Op de Kunstacademie bestudeerde hij in detail de belettering op de Zuil van Trajanus, een voorbeeld van perfectie uit de 2e eeuw na christus. Het is belangrijk om dit te weten omdat het toont dat zijn werk een kwestie was van keuze en niet van onkunde van de 'juiste' vormen. Jones' deed er een aanzienlijke periode over om tot deze bijzondere vormen en vormgeving te komen.

David Jones (1895-1974) was a poet, painter, essayist and maker of inscriptions. There is a feeling of musicality and naivety in his lettering art. At Art School he had closely studied the lettering of the Trajan's Column, an example of perfection from the 2nd century AD. It is important to recognize this because it emphasizes the true extend to which his work was a matter of choice rather than ignorance of "correct" forms. Jones' lettering developed his peculiar forms and design over a substantial period of time.
