Christopher P Jones

Hi, I’m Christopher P Jones, and I’m an art writer and artist. I’m the author of books about looking at art, including Great Paintings Explained and How to Read Paintings. I help people to learn more about art and engage with individual works by exploring the stories behind their making.

I send out a fortnightly newsletter, which you can sign up for at my website.



I’m also a novelist and have written a trilogy of historical mystery books set between the two World Wars, during the freewheeling spirit of the late 1920s to the end of the Weimar Republic in the early 1930s. The Berlin Tales portray murder and deception where the characters grapple with shifting forces and must face their own limitations.
