He spent most of his adult life in the US. and died in NY in 1966. He was best known for his extensive work creating murals in various parts of the country for the WPA. The murals reflected Starr’s interest in capturing the lives of typical Americans, especially workers, during the 1930’s - industrial workers, farmers, builders, entertainers, and artists. Themes of industry and social history are reflected in his sculptures and paintings.

This sculpture depicts a seated musician playing a clarinet. He is most likely a jazz musician. Elongated and full of movement as he twists his upper body, the sculpture brings the music-making to life. The figure is elongated, with long fingers and torso and feet. The modeling of the limbs and head and the naturalism of the rough surfaces contribute to the player’s presence as a living, breathing musician.

Starr was a member of artists associations in the eqrly to mid 20th century and he also taught art.His murals may be found in New York, North Carolina, Illinois, Texas and other states.

The piece sits on a rectangular base of green.marble, the dimensions of which are: Width: 5"; Depth: 7"; Height: 1". : There is a printed label taped to the underside of the base listing where Starr studied and taught and the locations of some of his most famous murals. less

Aside from dust that has accumulated in the folds and crevices of the clay, it has no obvious problems. No break, loses, chips that we can discern. The long feet, the elongated fingers, the fronts of the knees, and the slim clarinet are all vulnerable spots but they do not appear to have been damaged in any way. There is one tiny white spot between the nostrils and the upper lip; it may be a speck of something or it may be a tiny loss of surface clay. It is hard to to tell. The piece merits a careful cleaning. less
