Join us for a special screening of PANORAMIC VIEW: Portrait of the Artist Francine Tint, a documentary about the artist and League instructor by acclaimed filmmaker Pola Rapaport. The screening will be followed by Q&A with the artist and filmmaker.
Francine Tint is a passionate and gutsy abstract expressionist who, despite being overshadowed in a male-dominated art world, has painted every day of her adult life. Now, aged eighty-one, long-overdue recognition has finally arrived as a book about her work takes shape. The film captures her reflections on a lifetime of creation and the legacy she will leave behind.
Runtime: 21 minutes
