After her death, a critic from ''The New York Times'' remarked that she was "a woman unfairly neglected in a macho era." Her papers are held at the Yeshiva University Museum〔 and the Smithsonian Archives of American Art. * Alexander Brook (July 14, 1898 – February 26, 1980) was an American artist and critic who was born in Brooklyn. During his twenties, Brooks painted still lifes and posed figures with vigor and sensuality. He later began to emulate the style of Jules Pascin. From 1924-27 he was the assistant director of Whitney Studio Club. His realist painting was exhibited widely and he won multiple awards.〔 ''Georgia Jungle'' won the Carnegie Prize at the Carnegie International art exhibition. Unfortunately for Brook, the realist style fell out of favor late in the 1940s.〔 * Marion Greenwood (April 6, 1909 – August 20, 1970) – an artist who had resided in Brooklyn * Nell Choate Jones (1879–1981) – an artist who had resided in Brooklyn Jones was awarded an honorary doctorate by the State University of New York in 1972 and received the Distinguished Citizen Award from the Brooklyn Museum of Art in 1979.
