While still a student at Harvard, he established the Harvard Society for Contemporary Art and co-founded a literary magazine called Hound & Horn with classmate Varian Fry. In 1934, Kirstein and George Balanchine founded the School of American Ballet and Ballet Society, later renamed New York City Ballet. During World War II, he used his extensive knowledge of art as one of the "Monuments Men" -- arts intelligence officers with the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives section of the U.S. Military Government in Germany -- charged with recovering works of art stolen by the Nazis and others. After the war, Kirstein served for many years as the General Director of the New York City Ballet.

American photographs di Walker Evans
A masterpiece and a book to be studied by every photographer. Full stop. Plus an interesting essay by Lincoln Kirstein.
One of the collections that schooled my eye a half-century ago when I studied photojournalism.
Puss in Boots is about a cat named Puss who is given to one of the millers three sons, Robin. Puss finds a coin and decides to but him some boots. Puss is a very clever cat. He tricks people into getting what he wants which is wealth and power. He impresses the King and saves a village from a nasty ogre. Robin goes on to marrying the Kings daughter and Puss becomes prime minister. Puss kept a magic feather and used its last bit of power to turn his boots to gold. In the end, the cat ended up being the best gift left to Robin in his fathers will.
Puss in Boots is folktale because of all the trickery that Puss plays. Everything Puss does has a purpose. He uses his cleverness to get what he wants.… (altro)

Puss in Boots is a great message to show that great cifnts come in small packages. The book follows a young boy given a cat after his father turns ill, his brother take everything and leave him with nothing. The cat turns out to be a miracle cat for the young boy. Clever cat makes this poor boy a wealthy and established man.
