Fratino and Matisse: To See This Light Again

Contemporary painter Louis Fratino enters into dialogue with Henri Matisse through figures, interiors, still lifes, and self-portraits. Drawn from the Baltimore Museum of Art’s Cone Collection, special loans, and new works by Fratino, the exhibition explores color, light, pattern, intimacy, and the emotional power of painting across two generations.

Matisse and Martinique: Portraits and Poetry

This Baltimore Museum of Art exhibition examines Henri Matisse’s engagement with Martinique through portraiture, poetry, and the cultural histories that shaped his work. It brings together artworks and contextual material to offer a fuller view of the people, place, and ideas behind the artist’s imagery.

Medieval Mindscapes

Medieval Mindscapes examines how books of hours used imagery and visual illusion to support intimate devotional practice in medieval Europe. Twenty works from the Walters’ rare books and manuscripts collection invite visitors to consider how readers imagined themselves within sacred scenes.

Raúl de Nieves: and imagine you are here

In the second presentation of The Robert E. Meyerhoff and Rheda Becker Biennial Commission, multimedia artist, performer, and musician Raúl de Nieves invites visitors to explore the wonder, beauty, and chaos of the natural world through the themes of emerging and becoming.

Born in 1983 in Michoacan, Mexico, and based in Brooklyn, de Nieves learned traditional Latin American sewing and beadwork in school and alongside family members, and uses those approaches in his work, which pays tribute to his family, his homeland, and Mexican folk art. He also accumulates and adorns every surface of his sculptural figures—both human and animal—to create fantastical creatures immersed in deeply narrative environments, imbued with both Catholic imagery and Mexican folklore motifs. The embellished figures also refer to another central tenet of de Nieves’ aesthetic: self-expression within queer club culture, such as the glitter and glitz of drag pageants.

Seeing the Essential: The Sigmund M. and Mary B. Hyman Collection of American Art

Drawn from the Sigmund M. and Mary B. Hyman Collection, this exhibition presents American art selected for its directness, quality, and expressive power. The installation highlights the collectors’ distinctive vision and the range of American artistic practice represented in their collection.
