High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Patricia Cronin (born in 1963 in Beverly, Massachusetts) is an American visual artist living in New York City. Cronin gained notoriety in the mid-1990s for a series of performance based Polaroid photographs and watercolors of her and her partner making love, painted from the intimate perspective of a participant. This early work established many recurrent themes in Cronin’s practice: homosexuality as a theoretical concept and a lived experience, the legacy of the relationship between feminism and contemporary art, the intersection of conceptual and traditional methods of art making and the body as an expressive and expressing entity.
