These glasses allowed him to shift his attention sideways from his reference to his painting, rather than bobbing his head up and down.The actual glasses are currently on display alongside a scuffed sneaker in a glass case at the Norman Rockwell Museum.

I don't travel too much...but one of these days (I swear) I'm going to make a trek to the Rockwell Museum. My Dad was lucky enough to go. I also want to go to the Frazetta museum. Is it re-opened yet?

What a smart man!
That's some genius right there. Artists are problem-solvers.
What a clever salutation with bifocal glasses!
Sam, I haven't heard of plans to reopen the Frazetta museum.
That's very cool! I love these little tidbits!
What a swell idea! I have the same problem - bobbing the head, and it gives me a neckache. I wonder if today's lensmakers are up to the challenge of making a vertically-divided bifocal?
