Horder at Aarhus

Abstract

One-man shows of Romanesque sculptors are sufficiently uncommon to merit notice in any event. When, as in the present case, the artist is one of exceptional merit, with so distinct an artistic personality that his individuality is clearly discernible amid the work of his contemporaries; when the entire school of which he was a part is largely unknown to art historians outside his own country; and when the exhibition summarizes the results of some two generations’ research within that country—then it seems particularly desirable to bring it to the attention of a wider audience than that reached by the exhibit itself, or even the handsome accompanying publication by H. K. Hein, Horder en romansk Stenmester (Aarhus, 1966).
