内容説明

This 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 draws on a variety of scholarly disciplines to interpret the art forms and explains how the pre-Columbian artists validated their rules, recorded rituals, portrayed the supernatural and astronomical cosmos, and commemorated transitions from life into death. Pre-Columbian artists expressed themselves in sculpture and monumental architecture, glyphic notations, weavings, and painted ceramics - beginning about 2000 BC and, in some areas, continuing after the Spanish conquest.
