Paint Until Dawn: a documentary on art in the life of James Gahagan

Inner Relate: poetry of Paint, Politics, Place

Seeing is to painting what listening is to politics. Survival as an artist demands both. Paint Until Dawn is a documentary on art in the life of James Gahagan (1927-1999), who painted all night to push the limits of vision. His life and thought reveal a correlation between art and activism through an interesting angle: the creative process itself.
