On view now - Sunday, November 27th
Definitely recommend checking this one out! I was really impressed with the precision and attention to detail of this work. Prints and drawings by John Taylor Arms. Quite amazing to see up close!
"With an intense devotion to craftsmanship and an eye for minute detail, John Taylor Arms (1887–1953) created prints of monumental presence despite their modest size. The exhibition features some 60 prints, drawings, and copperplate that span the artist's career, from his early New York works to his finest images of European cathedrals. Born in Washington, Arms gave up a successful career as an architect to become a printmaker, adapting the meticulous drafting skills required in his architectural practice to the execution of finely wrought prints." -
