Lincoln Kirstein was a lifelong wannabe in the arts, but failing as an artist had to settle for being an impresario. Less known than Sol Hurok, but nevertheless socially famous he lived the life of a promoter of others. His wealth enabled him to do this, and he was a successful producer and fundraiser. Not what he really wanted, but his ambition drove him to do this and be satisfied.

The Sun's reviewer certainly points this out and shows that this overblown footnote to the arts scene in the Fifties and Sixties certainly covers all the bases on the subject. Thanks, reviewer.
