Hendricus Theodore Wijdeveld (1885-1987) was a Dutch architect, editor, graphic designer. typographer, and book designer. In addition, he was known for his designs for theater sets, costumes, and furniture. He edited the groundbreaking design-oriented magazine Wendingen, published 1918-1931.
Wijdeveld was inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright as early as the 1920s. At Wright's invitation, the Dutch architect lectured in the United States between 1947 and 1952. During the 1949-1950 academic year, he was a visiting professor at NC State College's School of Design.
During that year Jim Brandt was a student in Wijdeveld's classes. He collected some of his teacher's publications and took photographs of him.
