Jacob Glushakow

Jacob Glushakow (1914 – October 12, 2000[2]) was an American painter known for his keen observations of life in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, United States.

[3][4] His father was a clothing presser and candy maker[5] and was also the host of a Jewish-American radio program.

During his time in New York he taught a children's art class at a public school in the Bronx as part of the Works Progress Administration project.

His works reflect an interest in the everyday, often including views of row houses, markets, streets.

They provide a record of Baltimore's past, and feature a somewhat melancholic view of the urban setting with a rich history that has disappeared.
