Mildred Thompson
Mildred Thompson (1936–2003) was an African-American artist who worked in the media of painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and photography. She was also a writer and, beginning in 1987, was an associate editor for the magazine ''Art Papers'' in Atlanta, Georgia.〔Perry, Pam (1987), “The ear and the eye meet in the work of Mildred Thompson,” Creative Loafing, Section 6B, October 3, 1987.〕 Critics have related her art to West African textiles and Islamic architecture;〔Jennings, C. (1992), "A/Cross Currents: Synthesis in African American Abstract Painting", Kenkeleba House, Inc., New York City.〕 they have also cited German Expressionism, music (both American jazz and classical European music,〔Thompson was an amateur musician who studied French horn in her youth and later classical guitar. Perry, Pam (1987)〕 and Thompson’s readings in astronomy, spiritualism and metaphysics〔Staff writer “E.P.”, ''Essence'', May 1990, p. 86.〕 as important artistic influences.
== Early studies ==
Thompson grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. Her formal art training began in 1953 when she entered Howard University in Washington, D.C. There she found a mentor in James A. Porter (1905–1970), who was head of the school’s art department. He arranged for Thompson to receive a scholarship at the end of her junior year for summer study at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. After Thompson received the Bachelor of Arts from Howard, Porter assisted her in entering the Brooklyn Museum of Art School on a Max Beckmann Scholarship. She began to exhibit, and her work was accepted for the ''Art U.S.A. ’58'' exhibition in Madison Square Garden.〔Thompson, M. (1977), "Mildred Thompson, Sculptor: Experiences of a Black Artist in Europe and the United States”, p. 20, James A. Porter Gallery of Art, Howard University, Washington, DC.〕
During that time Thompson applied and was turned down for a Fulbright Scholarship. Feeling herself ready for study in Europe, Thompson decided to go there on her own. She worked to save money during the rest of the school year and, through the auspices of Samella Lewis (1924–), got a summer job teaching ceramics at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee. In this way she earned enough for steamship passage to Europe.〔Thompson (1977), p. 24.〕
