GET REALISM Baltimore’s Schuler School of Fine Arts celebrates the 50th anniversary of its founding this week. Hans and Ann Schuler started their classical, traditional realist art school in 1959 as a response to the 1950s explosion of abstract expressionism and other emerging forms, and since three generations of the Schuler family have run the school, where 91-year old Ann still teaches.
