Baltimore Painted Window Screens
​
Czechoslovakian immigrant, William Oktavec, painted the window screens of his neighborhood produce store with fruits and vegetables rather than putting the real thing on display out in the hot sun. Eventually, neighbors enjoyed his artwork so much that they requested his talents for their home window screens. Today, some examples of this dying art form can still be admired on the streets of East Baltimore. Not only are they beautiful, they provide privacy while windows and blinds are open. In the daylight, outsiders cannot see inside through the screens while at the same time one can see through the screen from within the house with no obstructed view.
