Biography

Educated in painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Chouinard School of Art. Known for his work on Pinocchio (1940), Fantasia (1940) and Song of the South (1946). A colorful personality, whose emotional extremes can be grasped through his nephew, Mike Baldwin, recounting how his uncle resigned from Disney with a fiery march into Walt Disney's office, followed by Starr smashing and backyard-burying all his Disney animation celluloids and other artwork. This contrasts strongly with the graceful, smooth, peaceful lines of his brushwork and the soft, inky, pastel-like glow of his watercolors. —http://www.puertovallarta.net/fast_facts/bernice-starr-edgar-starr.php
