This new film is a biographical portrait of one of Canada’s greatest painters. Tanabe was born near Prince Rupert, interned in the Slocan area, then began painting in the early days of the abstract expressionism in the late 1940’s. Now in his early 80s, Tanabe is still avidly painting and continues to push boundaries in art. Director Catharine Chesterman will be in attendance. A Q&A session and refreshments will follow.
