Exhibition Label: "American Etchers Abroad, 1880-1939," Apr-2004, Reed Anderson Arms belongs to the second generation of American etchers to go abroad between the years 1880 and 1939 and, along with his contemporaries Samuel Chamberlain and Louis Rosenberg, he redefined the art of etching in the United States. Arms’s cool and meticulously drawn etchings, like "Aspiration, La Madeleine, Verneuil-sur Avre," were based on preliminary drawings taken from nature and they set the standard for clean-lined, non-dramatic prints. Arms’s drawing is so precise that the etchings appear to have been created with an engraver’s burin.
