Reflections and Ponderings Oct 05, 2010
By Mike Campbell "TheManInTheCUBE"
Rich Cronborg, an accomplished Chicago Neo-Expressionist painter, brings his flair for vibrant color and visual surprise to this collection of poems and short poetic prose.
These pieces are like snapshots of battles won and lost, but always fully engaged. This is Chicago seen from its belly up to its Big Shoulders. Cronborg regales the reader with stories of hunting lodges and carousing dates, friendships and old photos, family and obligations, of Chicago snows and depression, cheap hotel rooms and a visit to the shrink, politics and alcoholism and sobriety and grandfathers, Chicago's glitzy Art district and its slums, body builders and junkies, politicians, shooting pool and vampire girls, and obituaries.....and, always, Work.
This is an intimate portrait of self and city, or perhaps more an inside glance at the artist's own sketch pad of studies for these portraits. It reads in places like a personal diary or even a confessional, and in others one senses the slight possibility of a Tall Chicago Tale.
Highly recommended if you are averse to pretense and if you enjoy a little Grit with your Art.
