Artist
John Taylor Arms Jr
Medium
Drawing - Etching Trial Proof 3
Description
One of the more famous print-maker of the early 20th century, John Taylor Arms was known for his medieval architectural etchings that combined precise realism with a sense of soaring spirituality. He believed that Gothic architecture was man's greatest achievement, uniting spiritual and aesthetic values, and was best known for his renderings of gargoyles and European churches. He was remarkably prolific, considering that he worked slowly and deliberately and spent much time traveling, writing, and lecturing.
He was born in Washington D.C., and studied law at Princeton University and then transferred to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study architecture, earning a masters degrees in 1912. This is a 1939 etching of the Chartres Cathedral. It is a trial proof marked number III and is hand signed and dated 1939 on the lower right and Trial Proof III on the lower left. It has been recently appraised and all documentation will be given to the buyer. It is nicely framed and matted measuring 19.375 in width by 22.875 in height.
