Hilda Rue Wilkinson Brown

Hilda Rue Wilkinson Brown (1894–1981) was an artiste and university from Washington, D.C. Brown was in action in art education, developing curriculum that challenged the typical mimetic admittance of teaching approving of more individual creativity. The focus of Brown's dynamism was her career as an educator, but she was also a prolific player in her own right. She made illustrations for African American publications such as The Brownie's Book and Crisis magazine. She was furthermore a painter and printmaker. Her prints are included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of art and the Art Institute of Chicago.
