Using meticulous structure and design, Amalie Rothschild sought to “distill the essence of form and expression” in her abstract paintings of both interiors and outdoor landscapes. The interwoven bands of color, which evoke a vision of beach chairs and umbrellas by the ocean on a summer day, illustrate her witty use of geometric forms. A leading figure in abstract art in Maryland, Rothschild had her first solo show at The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) in 1942 and taught fine art at Goucher College. During the late 1900s, she was a trustee at the Maryland Institute College of Art, the BMA, and Maryland Art Place, and served on various committees throughout the city, demonstrating her commitment to fostering the Baltimore art scene.
