Van Vechten, the celebrated American writer and photographer, was the literary executer of Gertrude Stein and a key figure of the Harlem Renaissance movement. He captured iconic images of all the key members in the worlds of Art, Theater, Music, and Literature. Van Vechten viewed his photography as a hobby; he never took commissions, he never sold photographs. He would grant permission to publish them, but had strict requirements to do so. He was a prominent fixture in 20th century photography collections with his work being included in such institutions as The Library of Congress, The Museum of The City of New York and The Smithsonian Institution.

William Rukard Hurd Hatfield (December 7, 1917 – December 26, 1998), American actor. He was best known for often playing characters of handsome, narcissistic young men, most notably Dorian Gray in the film 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1945).
