This overview of the work of Polly Thayer (Starr) presents a series of her paintings and drawings, coordinated with audio tapes of the artist discussing her work.  The voice selections were drawn primarily from interviews with the artist’s assistant Dorothy Koval, taped when Thayer was in her 90s and beyond, and also from interviews conducted by Robert Brown as part of the Oral History program of  Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art.*
