Much of Glazier’s folk art was painted on wood, so this is an unusual medium for him. The work was done in the style of an antique reverse glass painting. In the water, the artist has painted some sea creatures, including a fish, hammerhead shark, several whales, and a mermaid. I believe the piece of glass the artist used was antique, as it has some bubbles and the look of old glass. The glass is mounted in an old wooden frame that measures 25 1/2″ x 18 1/8″. The painted glass portion measures approximately 22″ x 14 1/2″. The painting is signed A. GLAZIER in the lower right corner. It’s guaranteed to be an original Arthur Glazier work of art. Arthur Glazier was originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was a Graphic Artist for the Corps of Engineers in Washington, D. Where he designed the shield logo that is still in use today. He retired to East Berlin, Pennsylvania, where he painted prolifically for 35 years. Condition of this reverse glass folk art painting is EXCELLENT. There are just a few nicks of minor paint loss that are not very noticeable. The frame is also in good condition, however, I would recommend mounting the glass more securely and replacing the cardboard backing. Overall, this collectible work of art looks fantastic and displays beautifully. Please take a close look at the many photos I’ve provided and judge condition for yourself. I haven’t been able to find any other examples of Glazier paintings that were done on glass, so I believe this medium was not used often. See my other listings. For more great items!
