Subjects with Objects vol. 1

by Jonathan Richter Dkm

SUBJECTS with OBJECTS. Being a record of what happens when a shadowy public spaces painter sets up in a pub & executes spontaneous, off-kilter, stream-of-consciousness portraits at a rate of one painting per pint, then gives those portraits into the keeping of an ephemeral poet & song lyricist who places a finer point on them by distilling their essences into a line or two of unsettling, witty, & cabalistically penetrating poetic prose, the result being a tome that is one part gargoyle mixed with one part icon and in which you will likely find, DEAR READER, your soul's visage portrayed and your deepest secrets laid bare. Such is the nature of this book.

This was an ... interesting book? LOL.

It made me think a lot. And feel a lot. Which I think art and books are supposed to do, so it certainly succeeded.

The art isn't really my style (at all), I'll confess, but I did enjoy the pairings with the captions and that's what made it for me/kept me reading.
