From 1930 he began working as a designer for theatre, working with André Charlot, Kenneth Duffield and Cecil Landauin.[1] At this time he also illustrated for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, The Sketch, The Bystander, Night and Day and the Queen.[1] Barbosa spent the Second World War in the Portuguese section of the Ministry of Information then returning to illustrating he worked for Moss Bros. During the 1950s he worked almost exclusively for American publishers and began his association with Georgette Heyer.[1] In the 1966, his friendship with Rex Harrison led him back to interior design, for the actor's house in Portofino, Italy. And later he undertook the refurbishment of the interior of Elizabeth Taylor's yacht Kalizma.[1] He also counted Cecil Beaton and Laurence Olivier amongst his friends.[2] He continued working until a few months before his death and won a Golden Clio award for British sherry label designs featuring portraits of the Duke of Wellington and Edward Elgar[1] He was obsessed with Royalty and amassed the finest collection of original photographs of members of European and Russian royal families from 1850 to 1914.[1] He was married three times but had no children, his last marriage to Isobel lasted 34 years until his death in 1995, aged 89 despite his long-held belief that the ideal marriage was a contract for nine years.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-artur-barbosa-1577369.html Obituary: Artur Barbosa] from The Independent, Friday 13 October 1995.
