Signed Prints by Jack Ludlam
Visions of Working Class Life
June 2020
This week, we're highlighting the works of another extraordinary artist: photographer Jack Ludlam. In his early teenage years, Jack found himself spending his summers on a local farm, and that's where he first became acquainted with his chosen subject: the tools and trappings of the working class. Hoping to draw attention to what he believes is an underappreciated and underrepresented group of people, Jack takes powerful photographs (in both black and white and color) of gear (chainsaws, well-worn boots), the fruits of hard labor (chopped wood), as well as some self-reflective pieces (hands poised at a typewriter or gripping a camera).
In the spirit of continuing to support independent artists and craftspeople, we're selling a selection of original prints signed by Jack right here on our site. Covering a wide range of subject matter and exemplifying the artist's talent for making magic of the mundane, these five pieces remind us that beauty often lurks in the most unexpected places. Each print is signed and Jack has personally donated these works with 100% of the sales being donated to the ACLU and Campaign Zero.
