Pre-Columbian Art

Pages : 330
Book Description
This profusely illustrated, up-to-date introduction to the pre-columbian art of Mesoamerica and Andean South America examines our conceptions of the ancient high cultures, the art they produced, and how our modern-day interpretations were achieved. The book is unique in that it draws on a great variety of scholarly disciplines to interpret the art forms. Since the 1960s our understanding of the Aztec, Maya, Inca, and Andean civilizations has increased dramatically through coordinated interdisciplinary research. In this summary of new and past investigations, Hilda Delgado Pang describes previously unknown historical figures and dynasties. In a clear and entertaining style, she tells how the pre-columbian artists validated their rulers, recorded rituals, portrayed the supernatural and astronomical cosmos, and commemorated transitions from life into death. As she describes the Mesoamerican and Andean high cultures, she also explains the special role that art plays in all societies, ancient and modern. Pre-columbian artists expressed themselves in sculpture and monumental architecture, glyphic notations, weavings, and painted ceramics--beginning about 2000 B.C. and, in some areas, continuing after the Spanish conquest. This new introductory text explores the contributions of epigraphy, formal and iconographic analyses, chemical and botanical identifications, and ethnographic and ethnohistorical sources to our knowledge of the major art styles: Olmec, Toltec, Maya, Aztec, Chavin, Paracas, Nasca, Moche, Tiahuanaco-Huari, Chimu, and Inca. From this book students and general readers will gain challenging insights into both the ancient art forms described and the fast-moving disciplines thatenergize research in the field today.

Book Description
""The amount sounds marvellous: 3500 years of Colombian art! Do we really have so much art to review? So much to show? This new book by Villegas Editores indicates so." "Through a chronological synthesis, for the first time in a single volume, the artistic production is grouped together to what today is Colombian territory. The book presents the early manifestations of pre-Columbian art until and throughout the Twentieth Century." "This recount, supported by the collections from the Gold Museum and the Art Collection, both part of the Central Bank of Colombia, and complemented by other important public collections, focuses on the periods starting from the Conquest, on painting and sculpture. It is the author's opinion - Santiago Londono Velez - that the rest of the material in the book deserves a separate treatment."--Rabat de la jaquette
