Kudos, too, to the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, which has justacquired one of only two casts of Gaston Lachaise's "Man Walking (Portrait of Lincoln Kirstein)".
The bronze sculpture is on view in the rotunda of the museum.
Lachaise, a Franco-American sculptor of the early-20th century, was better known for his hourglass female nudes, inspired apparently by Mme. Lachaise. But he also created heroic men to go along with his voluptuous women as seen at Kykuit, the historic Rockefeller family estate in Pocantico Hills.
Certainly, this image of Kirstein -- the arts impressario who founded the New York City Ballet with George Balanchine -- is no exception.
