NOTES / REFERENCES: Richard Leon Stoots (1947-1993) Richard Stoots was a San Francisco artist and photographer. His main interests and the subject of much of his art revolved around the lives of the early 20th century dancers Isadora Duncan and Vaslav Nijinsky. He was friends with Nijinsky's daughter, Kyra and also became involved with the Isadora Duncan Foundation. Many of his etherial photographs were double exposures and darkroom-manipulated images using historical photographs of the dancers, including works by Arnold Genthe, to express his own feelings and closeness to them. Richard Stoots was a Gay artist, lived in San Francisco, traveled and worked in Paris and New York where he produced art for the show "Nijinsky's Dream" at the Throne Theater in 1988. He passed away from complications of AIDS in 1993, at the young age of 46.
