...Advancement of Colored People, fearing to bring its members and contributors under increased pressure in emotion-torn Little Rock, refused.

...were not rebuilt in later styles. In recent decades most of the frescoes and painted wood altar fronts have been moved into museums at Vich and Barcelona to stop further deterioration and to permit careful studies by art scholars. The best that is left of this all but forgotten chapter from the past has now been reproduced in oversized format (18 in. by 13 in.) in Spain, Romanesque Paintings, published by the New York Graphic Society ($16.50) as part of the UNESCO World Art Series...
