His education included the study of law at Princeton University. He earned a masters degree in architecture from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1912. Initially he was employed full-time as an architect.In 1913 he created his first etching, ultimately becoming one of the most famous printmakers of the early 20th century. He believed that Gothic architecture, which united aesthetic and spiritual values, was man's greatest architectural achievement. Arms frequently traveled to Europe studying and drawing medieval architecture, gargoyles and churches. In addition he etched a series of American cities, as well as scenes of Maine. John Taylor Arms left his successful career as an architect for the uncertainties of full-time printmaking. Over his lifetime, he produced 429 published prints, most of them etchings but also worked in drypoint, aquatint, lithography, and mezzotint. Inspired by Manhattan’s high-rise profile and Europe’s Gothic structures, Arms produced painstakingly technical architectural prints, and was among the most eloquent advocates for the graphic arts in his time.
