Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: by local artist John Clark Mayden. Bronze Winner of the Foreword INDIES Award for Photography by FOREWORD Reviews Baltimore native John Clark Mayden's photographs are distinctive to the city and specific to black life there, lingering on the front stoops and in the postage-stamp backyards of Charm City row houses. But these pictures are far from nostalgic. Informed by the photographer's deep commitment to both social justice and storytelling, they strip Baltimore of pretense and illusion and show the city's veins. Baltimore Lives gathers 101 of Mayden's best photographs in print for the first time. Taken between 1970 and 2012, these photos illuminate the experiences of life throughout the predominantly African American city, capturing the relaxed intimacy of community, family, and the comfort of home in contrast to the harsh sting of social injustice, poverty, and crime. In Mayden's work, we meet people who are not expecting us. We bear witness to their lives—their emotions, gestures, and faces that often reveal more than they conceal. But regardless of the camera's presence, people go on waiting for the bus, catching a breeze on their front steps, slogging through the snow to work and school, and, every so often, returning the photographer's gaze with a sly grin, a backward glance, a curious frown. Including a brief biography of John Clark Mayden written by his sister, Ruth W. Mayden, and an essay by art historian Michael Harris on how Mayden's work fits into larger trends of black photography, Baltimore Lives is a stunning visual history of the spatial and human elements that together make Baltimore's inner city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baltimore was the second largest harbor in North America in 1850, but its glory days were fading by the 1950's. Gone were the leading ship-building centers that served our nation in The Civil War, World War I, and World War II. In 1954, Baltimore implemented the first U.S. redevelopment of a downtown core, Baltimore's Charles Center. Today, Baltimore is the flagship of the country, its urban renewal programs are studied and copied nation-wide. Because of the city's reincarnation, Baltimore has been called, "Charm City" or "America in Miniature", but the folks of Baltimore say it differently - `Welcome to Bawlamer, hon." Visit the new and the old Baltimore in this photographic portrait.

Book excerpt: Through interpretive essays and a catalogue of exhibited works, this publication explores the work of Joshua Johnson, the first professional African-American artist (ca. 1763-1824) and a freed slave who became one of the most successful portrait painters in early 19th-century Baltimore.

Download or read book The Painted Screens of Baltimore written by Elaine Eff and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Painted screens have long been synonymous in the popular imagination with the Baltimore row house. Picturesque, practical, and quirky, window and door screens adorned with scenic views simultaneously offer privacy and ventilation in crowded neighborhoods. As an urban folk art, painted screens flourished in Baltimore, though they did not originate there--precursors date to early eighteenth-century London. They were a fixture on fine homes and businesses in Europe and America throughout the Victorian era. But as the handmade screen yielded to industrial production, the whimsical artifact of the elite classes was suddenly transformed into an item for mass consumption. Historic examples are now a rarity, but in Baltimore the folk art is still very much alive. The Painted Screens of Baltimore takes a first look at this beloved icon of one major American city through the words and images of dozens of self-taught artists who trace their creations to the capable and unlikely brush of one Bohemian immigrant, William Oktavec. In 1913, this corner grocer began a family dynasty inspired generations of artists who continue his craft to this day. The book examines the roots of painted wire cloth, the ethnic communities where painted screens have been at home for a century, and the future of this art form.
