"San Trovaso", (1926), etching, 242x374mm; 11 1/8" x 8 3/4", full margins. Edition of 97. Signed and dated in pencil by the artist, lower right. A fine, dark and clean impression [Fletcher 177]. John Taylor Arms (1887-1953) came to full artistic development after years of being an architect. He had been fascinated since youth by French artists who specialized in architectural nuances, and therefore he studied them, particularly Aime-Edmond Dellemagne. In Arms' lifetime he was awarded thirty-six prizes for his print making. His work exemplifies skill draftsmanship, remarkable control of detail and acute vision. "San Trovaso", also called "The Boat Builder's Yard", is from the Italian Series #6 (e.g., 1st Venetian Series). It is inscribed Arms 1926 in the plate, lower right (this etching is also pencil-signed by Arms), and was printed by Frederick Reynolds. "San Trovaso" was pictured on page 160 in Dorothy Noyes Arms', "Hill Towns and Cities of Northern Italy". "San Trovaso" is in a 26 5/8" x 31 1/16" light toned walnut burl Catalina styled frame with a raised beaded gold lip and outer walnut ridge. The wood fillet is a laquered walnut. The outer khaki linen and inner tumbleweed mats are acid and lignin free and are protected with Acrylite-AR OP3 (UV) by CYRO ...... $2,000.00 |
