Publications

2006     Minneapolis StarTribune, Mary Abbe, Art Critic, Minneapolis, MN, “Krogstad is a poet of rural places, the wide skies arching over fallow fields, river valleys and farmsteads.”

2005      Decorah News, Decorah, Iowa “Skies are a particular interest to me.  I am fascinated by the constantly changing and                    infinite variety of abstract forms and colors in the sky and the land.”

2004     The Forum, Sarah Henning Entertainment Editor, Fargo, ND, “What makes Krogstad’s work stand out is his use of color and light to produce a subtle glow throughout, as though these structures and grasses have visible souls.”

2002     Plains Art Museum NEWS, Rusty Freeman, VP of Curatorial Education, Fargo, ND, “The paintings of Richard Krogstad reflect his close, personal connection to the Midwest landscape. He makes the ordinary elements of the landscape … extraordinary through the      careful use of color and value, lending his landscapes a spiritual demeanor.”
