John Taylor Arms
Old Hoadley House

1941

About the Item

This image was in the personal collection of the artist. The Wheeler-Beecher House, sometimes referred to as the Hoadley House, is located on Amity Road in Bethany, CT. Built at the start of the 19th century for Darius Beecher—a wealthy farmer and architect—it serves not only as an outstanding example of Colonial architecture but also of renowned architect David Hoadley’s work. It was printed by Charles White in an edition of 91. Referenced as Fletcher #360 the image is signed . John Taylor Arms studied architecture at Princeton and MIT and later became the country’s finest etcher of his age. His renderings of European and American architectural subjects are not only beautiful, but they are unrivaled in their technical virtuosity and nuanced light. In a recent exhibit, the Cleveland Museum noted: Arms believed that art could be a tool for the spiritual and moral improvement of mankind and that Gothic cathedrals represented “the most significant expression of man’s aspirations.” He viewed printmaking as a vehicle for disseminating images of subjects that would uplift and inspire contemporary society. Arms served as President of the Society of American Etchers and as an ambassador for American printmakers and printmaking throughout the world.
