Biography: Known for his keen observations of life in the city of Baltimore, Jacob Glushakow spent more than sixty years painting the neighborhoods of his hometown. His works reflect an interest in the everyday, often including views of row houses, markets, streets, and wharves as well as the interiors of pool halls and tailor shops. 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. Glushakow studied art at the Maryland Institute College of Art, the Jewish Educational Alliance, and at the Art Students League in New York. He remained faithful to a traditional realist style of painting throughout his career. His work can be found in the permanent collections of The Baltimore Museum of Art, The Phillips Collection, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among others. Glushakow's paintings were exhibited at The Baltimore Museum of Art in 1947.
