Hyman Collection of American Art at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Featuring more than 100 works from the Hyman Collection, including paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and a textile, Seeing the Essential explores defining themes of the Ashcan movement, including urban life, architecture, interiors, the figure, and portrayals of artists and performers. The exhibition also highlights an exceptional group of works by John Sloan, a leading figure of the movement. Sig and Mary Hyman's passion for collecting and their generous support of civic institutions in Baltimore are reflected in this presentation.
