Patrick Angus
Patrick Angus (1953–1992) was a 20th-century American painter who, among many other works, created a number acrylic paintings of the interior of the Gaiety Theater and some of its dancers and customers in the 1980s. Some of the titles are: ''Grand Finale'' (1985), ''The Apollo Room I'' (1986), ''Remember the Promise You Made'' (1986), ''Slave to the Rhythm'' (1986), ''All The Love in the World'' (1987), and ''Hanky Panky'' (1991). Although a dedicated creator of portraits and still lifes, and an occasional designer of stage settings, Angus is principally known for works begun in 1981 depicting the young male erotic dancers at the Gaiety and other New York showplaces. Referring to an earlier French painter who made his reputation depicting the ''demi-monde'', playwright Robert Patrick deemed Angus "The Toulouse-Lautrec of Times Square." Angus died on May 13, 1992, from complications related to AIDS. In popular culture Angus appears as himself in the 1990 documentary movie ''R ...
