About the Item
Bold figurative work by Richard Cronin (American, b. 1952). Two figures stand on a patio, turned away from each other. The figures and scene are rendered in blocky, bold shapes, with softly blended yet Fauvist colors, typical of Cronin's style.
Unsigned, but was acquired with a collection of the artist's work.
Canvas size 48"H x 48"W
Richard Cronin (b. 1952) is a surrealist artist who lives and works in Southern California. He became a professional artist in the late 1970s, focusing on symbolic, surreal work, juxtaposing hard lines with soft, blended colors. He calls his style “narrative surrealism” as each piece tells a metaphorical story. Later in his career, Cronin also worked as a graphic designer, creating posters for The Palm Springs Rodeo and local bands.

In 1929, he traveled to Paris, North Africa, Germany, and Italy with a group of artists.

In 1935, he found work with the WPA where he painted murals and partnered up with longtime friend Willem de Kooning in 1939 on a mural for the Hall of Pharmacy at the New York World’s Fair.
