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.

The water’s edge was a site of rich and often fraught ideas, where environmental, economic, political, and social narratives came to the fore. It also served as a site of immense inspiration for Dutch artists such as Frans Hals, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jacob van Ruisdael, and Salomon Van Ruysdael, among many others. Landscapes depicting harbors, trade, travel, and leisure abounded, as did the production of maps, still lifes, and portraits. Together, these images offer insight into the identity of the young 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.
Presented as part of the Turn Again to the Earth environmental initiative.

Baltimore Clayworks is delighted to present the 2024-25 EMBARC Fellow Exhibition, featuring the thought-provoking work of Kashima Robinson. This exhibition highlights Kashima’s exploration of non-functional sculptural ceramic forms, where mosaics, tiles, and intricate containers reflect themes of self-discovery and transformation. Their work invites viewers to engage with moments of transition and ambiguity, challenging perceptions and offering insight into the spaces between defined forms.

Baltimore Clayworks is proud to present the 2024-25 Lormina Salter Fellow Exhibition, showcasing the work of Kristyn Rohrer.
