Known for his keen observations of life in the city of Baltimore, Jacob Glushakow spent more than 60 years painting the neighborhoods of his hometown. His works reflect an interest in the everyday, often including views of row houses, markets, streets, and wharves, as well as the interiors of pool halls and tailor shops. They provide a record of Baltimore’s past, and a somewhat melancholy view of the urban setting.
