Renaissance of a Baltimore Folk Art: SCREEN PAINTING

Balimore's Unique Art History

In the glory days of the painted screen (circa 1930), over 100,000 painted screens

decorated the windows of Baltimore City row houses. Nearly 100 screen painters

would go door to door soliciting residents to have their screens painted.
