| Born in San Francisco, CA on March 15, 1913. Tatum studied at the CSFA in the 1930s. He was a member of Frank Van Sloun's painting crew for large murals in the rotunda of the Palace of Fine Arts in 1936. At the GGIE of 1939 he assisted Diego Rivera in his murals. Due to religious belief, he was imprisoned at McNeils Island prison for draft evasion in 1945. A serious automobile accident in 1951 left him depressed and with stiff hands which made future painting difficulty. Later in the 1950s (showing 500 of 1673 characters). |
