Leonard Bernstein, Alive and Well - based on a photograph by Paul de Hueck, "American Masters", as featured in the New York Times "The Irrepressible Bernstein in Retrospect, Fondly," October 28, 1998). This study marks the beginning of a fuller portrait.

Not just a conductor, but also a composer who wrote symphonic and orchestral music, ballet, choral works, opera, chamber music, pieces for the piano, and film and theatre music, including the Broadway musical West Side Story and the original score for the Elia Kazan drama film On the Waterfront.

A critical figure in the modern revival of the music of Gustav Mahler.

A humanitarian, Bernstein protested against the Vietnam War, advocated nuclear disarmament, and engaged in multiple international initiatives for human rights and world peace. Interesting, Lenny appears on the right side of the study (but on the left from Lenny's viewpoint).
