Patrick Angus

Patrick Angus (1953–1992) was a 20th-century American painter who, among many new 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 yet lifes, and an occasional designer of stage settings, Angus is principally known for works begun in 1981 depicting the youthful male erotic dancers at the Gaiety and further 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 AIDS.

Angus appears as himself in the 1990 documentary movie Resident Alien about Quentin Crisp in New York. Angus is portrayed by actor Jonathan Tucker in the 2009 dramatic movie An Englishman in New York, a biographical Describe about Crisp's progressive years. Crisp befriends Angus in both films, and encourages him to work his work.
