Grayson Perry Jones is a long standing critic of Grayson Perry, who he has described as "trite and shallow". Perry responded by quoting 'Johnathan Jones' on a pot in his 2017 exhibition. On photography Jones has expressed varying opinions on photography. In January 2013 he wrote that "Photography is the serious art of our time" and the only art that devotes the same "attention to the stuff that matters" as great artists of the past. In December 2014, however, prompted by the high price allegedly paid for a print by the photographer Peter Lik, Jones stated "Photography is not an art", and went on to say that, "this hollow and overblown creation exposes the illusion that lures us all, when we're having a good day with a good camera – the fantasy that taking a picture is the same thing as making a work of art."
