SIGNED JOHN TAYLOR ARMS (AMER 1887-1953) ETCHING
Etching signed John Taylor Arms 1951, matted and in gold frame.
John Taylor Arms (1887–1953) is one of the foremost American printmakers of the first half of the 20th century. He is well know for his medieval architectural etchings and precise realism.  From his prints one can see his belief that Gothic architecture was man’s greatest achievement.  Throughout his career he produced over four hundred prints, wrote and illustrated numerous books, on both travel and printmaking, including Churches of France; Hill Towns and Cities of Northern Italy; Design in Flower Arrangement; and a Handbook on Printmaking and Printmakers.

John Taylor Arms work can be found in most museums across the United States and Europe, including the Metropolitan Museum, The New York Public Library, The Library of Congress, the British Museum and the Bibiotheque Nationale, Paris.  Recently the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio received a generous donation of material from the Arms estate, that along with their already impressive collection makes them one of the largest holdings of John Taylor Arms’ work.
