Description
John Taylor Arms, one of the most important American printmakers of the first half of the Twentieth Century, believed that art could further the spiritual and moral improvement of mankind. He viewed printmaking—with its ability to create multiple fine copies of the same image—as a vehicle for disseminating images of subjects that would uplift and inspire contemporary society.
This print showing the South Portal of The Collegiate Church of San Isidor, Leon is titled Stone Tapestry and is part of Arms’ Churches of Spain series.
