2004- Kerstin Pollack, wife of Reginald Pollack describes her life with the artist. Includes original footage shot by Reginald along with his narration.

Reginald Murray Pollack (July 29, 1924 – December 6, 2001) was an American painter known for metaphorical and theme based works of art. He was also a veteran of World War II having served in the Pacific Theater of Operations.

Pollack became interested in philosophy and helped establish the Jungian encounter movement in California developing art as therapy. It was at his time that he met his third wife, Kerstin Birgitta and his art became more metaphysical. The year of their marriage he wrote a morality play "The War of the Angels", performed at the National Cathedral. In 1977, Penn State University held a Pollack painting exhibition and during the University's annual arts festival Reginald produced a light show using neon helium lasers to project abstract images on screen. Also computer-generated images were made to interact with the laser images; accompanying music by Bach and Stravinsky ...these ambitions led him to co-found the nationally known Washington Project of the Arts, which helped many unknown artists exhibit their work, giving them an opportunity to showcase their work. The Project continues to this day.
