- Biography (note)
- Gerald Arpino's ballet Incubus (music, Anton Webern) was first presented in a preview performance in Sept. 1962 by the Robert Joffrey Ballet. It portrayed a young girl's descent into madness and her rejection by her parents and community. This design, labeled Nov. 1962, may be a later version of the mother's costume. Lewis Brown, 1928-2011, designed costumes for theatre, opera, and ballet. A native of California, he moved to New York in the 1950s, and worked for television before making his first New York costume designs for the New York City Ballet's production of Medea in 1958.
