On hearing his 1921 incidental music for Molière's comédie-ballet Les fâcheux Diaghilev asked him to transform it into a ballet. First performed in Monte Carlo . it shows a facility for mood creation and a virtuosity in the manipulation of highly varied material that presages his film music. Other successful ballets followed: Les matelots 1924 and La pastorale 1925 for Diaghilev Les enchantements de la fée d'Alcine 1928 for Ida Rubinstein ." Jeremy Drake in Grove Music Online.<br /> <br /> Kochno "was a Russian-born writer and ballet librettist who collaborated with ballet impresario Serge Diaghilev during the last years of the Ballets Russes then became a major influence on post-World War II French ballet. Kochno met Diaghilev in 1921 and immediately became his secretary. His first libretto for Diaghilev was the text of Igor Stravinsky's chamber opera Mavra 1922; he followed it with scenarios for such ballets as Les Fâcheux 1924 Les Matelots 1925 Ode 1928 and Le Fils prodigue The Prodigal Son 1929.<br /> <br /> After Diaghilev's death in 1929 Kochno continued advising on ballets. He collaborated on Cotillon and Jeux d'enfants 1932 for the new Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo then with choreographer George Balanchine founded the short-lived Les Ballets in 1933. He returned to the Ballet Russe advising the company's management until 1937. With his longtime friend Christian Bérard a painter and choreographer Roland Petit he collaborated on the ballet Les Forains 1945 which led to the founding of Les Ballets des Champs-Elysées and the renaissance of French ballet; he remained with that company until 1951. He was the author of the books Le Ballet 1954 and Diaghilev et les Ballets Russes 1970." Britannica Online<br /> <br /> "Hoyningen-Huene 1900-1968 is acknowledged as an iconic pioneer in the genre of fashion photography. His elegant pared-down style has had a dramatic impact on photographers around the world and his work continues to have relevance today as an artist who created some of the most striking photographic portraits and compositions of the twentieth century." Artist's website<br /> <br /> "Oreste Francesco Pucciani 1916 - 1999 was a pioneer teacher of Jean-Paul Sartre's philosophy at UCLA. He was the last partner of Rudi Gernreich fashion designer and at the latter's death established the ACLU Rudi Gernreich-Oreste Pucciani Endowment Fund to support the fight for LGBT rights."
