xi, 404 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm

This lively work of cultural history tells the stories of five young art patrons who, in the last 1920s and 1930s, were instrumental in bringing modern painting, sculpture, and dance to America. A combination of wealth, Harvard education privilege, and family connections enabled Lincoln Kirstein, Edward M.M. Warburg, Agnes Mongan, James Thrall Soby, and A. Everett (Chick) Austin, Jr., to introduce the work of Picasso, Balanchine, Calder, and other important artists to the United States. In this fascinating book, Nichols Fox Weber interweaves the lives and activities of these individuals with the culture they were so fundamental in promoting [Publisher description].
