CT Savin Rock Amusement by the late Milton Bond

SOLD. Now in the Philadelphia area. Shown here is a reverse glass original of the noted Savin Rock amasement center, West Haven CT. The late Milton Bond’s personal craft is the medium of reverse glass painting, working in a mirror world in the fine detail of acrylic, ink, and metallic foil, giving a three dimensional luminosity to the exposed glass side when exhibited. The medium was first introduced to him decades ago by his beloved sister Mildred, a lover of the arts. In the last 45 years, he has produced over 1,500 paintings, and been featured at the Museum of American Folk Art, NYC; the Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, the Lyman Allyn Museum, New London; the Grand Palais, Paris, France; and the John Judkyn Museum of American Art, in Bath, England; and the New York State Historical Association, in Cooperstown, NY. Reproductions of Bond’s paintings have also adorned the pages of many books of Connecticut art, and the covers of such beautiful editions as Only In Bridgeport, An Illustrated History of the Park City, and In Pursuit of Paradise: A History of the Town of Stratford, by Louis G. Knapp. Click for more info on Savin Rock
