The art of Mesoamerica : from Olmec to Aztec / by Miller, Mary Ellen,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-287) and index.Expanded and revised in its sixth edition, The Art of Mesoamerica surveys the artistic achievements of the high pre-Hispanic civilizations of Central America--Olmec, Maya, Teotihuacan, Toltec, and Aztec--as well as those of their lesser-known contemporaries. Providing an in-depth examination of central works, this book guides readers through the most iconic palaces, pyramids, sculptures, and paintings. 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.

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.
