点评:The Baltimore Museum of Art has played an important role in assuring that the DMV area did not miss out on Amy Sherald's historic exhibit, American Sublime. The paintings are impressive in color and design. Sherald, inspired by old black and white family photos, combines bright colors with grey skin tones on huge canvases to bring the humanity of her subjects to life. The showing involves multiple media starting with photographing subjects. Detailed descriptions are posted near most paintibgs and QR codes link the viewer to voice explanations by the artist and others. The subjects range from the famous like Michelle Obama to parents and children. A video plays in a small theater wherein the artist talks about her background, inspirations and processes. While parking is a challenge, once one enters, the staff and signage are most helpful in directing one to the appropriate gallery. The combination of historic collections and contemporary art make the BMA most educational and enjoyable.
