A selection of approximately 40 paintings, prints, and drawings from the BMA’s collection explores the role of water and landscape in defining the early modern Dutch Republic.

This focus exhibition of 10 works explores the relationship between burning fossil fuels—namely, coal—and the emergence of European modernism. Drawing on research conducted by climate scientists and art historians, the exhibition presents a range of paintings and works on paper by Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, James McNeill Whistler, and others to explore the ways that their artistic practices and style emerged, in part, in response to widespread pollution in London and Paris.

The Baltimore Museum of Art is open until 9 p.m.on Thursdays.

LaToya Ruby Frazier’s award-winning installation is the first of a series of exhibitions presented as part of the BMA’s Turn Again to the Earth environmental initiative. The installation celebrates Baltimore’s community health workers during the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine through a series of portraits and related narratives mounted on 18 socially distanced, stainless-steel IV poles. This powerful and deeply evocative artwork offers an alternative approach to monument-making that challenges us to consider the nature of how and who we honor.
