Oluf Høst was a Danish painter born in 1884 in Svaneke on the island of Bornholm. One of his greatest influences was Cezanne who was ideal in his artistic matters, though Høst emphasized a great difference between their work due to a major difference in their surroundings. For this reason, Høst felt anchored in a Nordic tradition. “This exhibition presents some essential aspects of an artist whose activities spread over a wide field: So it is the nature romantic, the landscape artist, the minimalist, the colourist as well as the metaphysical Høst that come into play in this exhibition.” This book also includes discussion of the landscapes in which he paints and the major themes of the exhibition.
