Pine bough

Description

This woodblock print by John “Jack” Taylor (1906-1990) shows a close up of a branch with pine needles in clusters of three. A house sits on a hill in the background. The print is unsigned and incorporated into the image is “JT 45.” The artist’s son, Nick Taylor, supplied the title “Pine Bough.” This is one of 26 relief prints, donated by Taylor, depicting life in western North Carolina. John Taylor was a self-taught, avocational artist. A native of England, he emigrated to Canada, then to the United States, and moved with his wife Clare to Waynesville, NC in the early 1940s. He traveled widely around the area as the Haywood County land surveyor, which is how he encountered many of the subjects portrayed in his prints.
