Notat vedr. Sysseltinget i Hjørring i senmiddelalderen, fortsætter over midten 1932 - 1935

This is a page from a notebook, a written note by Niels Larsen Stevns, made sometime in the late 19th or early 20th century. The artist's hand dances across the page, a flurry of marks in black ink, full of both urgency and precision. The texture of the paper seems almost palpable, as if I could run my fingers over its surface and feel the slight give of the page. The ink is dense and opaque, leaving no room for light to penetrate. Each stroke is a testament to the artist's physical engagement with the medium, a record of movement and intention. Look at the way the words and lines pile up, creating a sense of depth and complexity. It's like a city viewed from above, a tangle of streets and buildings that somehow resolves into a coherent whole. The overall effect is one of organized chaos. It puts me in mind of Cy Twombly, another artist who found beauty in the scribbled line, and reminds us that art is always a conversation, a back-and-forth between different voices across time. In the end, it’s about embracing the mess and finding meaning within it.
