A definitive portrait of one of the twentieth century's leading cultural icons examines the complicated--and conflicted--world of Lincoln Kirstein, a founder of the New York City Ballet and key figure in the creation of Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art, detailing his long-time marriage and homosexual affairs, the bipolar disorder that affected his life, and more. 30,000 first printing.

"THE WORLDS OF LINCOLN KRISTEN, written with authority and elegance by Martin Duberman (author of the acclaimed PAUL ROBESON: A BIOGRAPHY), is...an eye-opening account of what one might call the shadow-side of cultural history. For artists, no matter how bohemian their lifestyles, need commissions, theaters, galleries, patrons, critics, students and, sometimes, comforters. All these Lincoln Kirstein worked hard to provide....Few children of the wealthy have contributed more, or more directly, to the artistic enrichment of the nation."

Michael Dirda, Washington Post, 04/22/2007
