Portrait of composer Samuel Barber (1910-1981). I don't know what it's like in the US, but in Europe, it's as if Barber only composed his (nevertheless gorgeous) Adagio for Strings. He is, however, a brilliant composer who created so many beautiful works. His violin concerto is one of the most touching pieces I know. As for his personal life: for more than 40 years, Barber was in a (not always that peaceful) relationship with fellow composer Gian Carlo Menotti, who will be my next subject to portray. #samuelbarber #queercomposer #giancarlomenotti #americanmusic #composer #classicalmusic #adagioforstrings #portrait #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg6bUPmt8Nx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
