Steel, Glass, Canvas, Paint and Light - Arthur Kdav This past weekend my husband and I hung one of my father's paintings. It is the only painting which includes stained glass. He designed this piece then asked a glass artist to make the glass design for his work. He welded the steel so that the glass portion can safely slide into position. You have to look closely to see where the plane that canvas is on hovers over the glass in the deeper plane. He was very excited about this one. I recall him talking about how it would be so different. He also wanted to have light behind the glass so there would be the illumination effect behind. In these photos I don't have the back light on. The line movement is worth examining more closely too. This is a great piece of artwork.
