The art of Mesoamerica : from Olmec to Aztec / by Miller, Mary Ellen,author.(CARDINAL)179492; Thames and Hudson,publisher.(CARDINAL)757105;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 248-252) and index."Mary Ellen Miller surveys the artistic achievements of the high Precolumbian civilizations - Olmec, Maya, Teotihuacan, Toltec, Aztec - as well as those of their less well-known contemporaries. Their pyramids and palaces, jades and brightly colored paintings emerge from these pages as vividly as when they first astonished Cortes's men in 1519. The fourth edition of this standard work includes new discoveries, from Palenque, Mexico, where architecture and sculpture reveal a dramatic eighth century, to San Bartolo, Guatemala, where Maya murals of unprecedented complexity and sophistication have been uncovered in the past few years. Continuing hieroglyphic decipherments - not only of Maya writing but of other Mesoamerican civilizations - provide insights into works of the past."--Jacket.

("Here we are!") / Raul Macuil Martínez -- Catalogue.Five hundred years ago, the landing of Hernán Cortés in Mexico marked the end of the Aztec Empire. This volume presents the wealth of this culture with spectacular, sometimes unpublished finds: rare feathered shields, impressive stone sculptures, precious mosaic masks and goldwork as well as brilliantly coloured illustrated manuscripts bring the world of the Aztecs to life.0The publication provides comprehensive insight into the fascinating history of the Aztec Empire and takes into account the latest results of research and archaeology. Renowned experts tell of the political, societal and economic structures, of cultural achievements such as the complex calendar system and the Aztec language, and of religious rites. Precious objects from the magnificent furnishings of the palace of Emperor Moctezuma and the main temple Templo Mayor, including recently discovered sacrificial offerings that have never previously been exhibited, bear witness to the high standards of Aztec art and craftsmanship.00Exhibition: Linden-Museum, Stuttgart, Germany (12.10.2019 - 03.05.2020) / Weltmuseum Wien, Austria (24.06.2020 - 10.01.2021).Catalog of an exhibition held at Linden-Museum, Stuttgart, October 12, 2019 to May 3, 2020; Weltmuseum, Wien, June 24, 2020 to January 6, 2021; Museum Volkenkunde, Leiden, February 21, 2021 to August 29, 2021.

From the Olmec colossal head 5 recovered from San Lorenzo to the Aztec calendar stone found in Mexico City's Zocalo in 1790, this book reveals the complexity and innovation behind the art and architecture produced in pre-Hispanic civilizations. This new edition incorporates fifty new lavish color images and extensive updates based on the latest research and dozens of recent discoveries, particularly in Maya art, where excavations at Teotihuacan, the largest city of Mesoamerica, and Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztecs, have yielded new sculptures.
