Description

This wide-ranging survey has established itself as the most efficient single-volume introduction to Andean art and architecture.

Now fully revised, it describes the strikingly varied artistic achievements of the Chavin, Paracas, Moche, Chimu, and Inca cultures, among others. Their impressive cities, tall pyramids, shining goldwork, and complex textiles constitute one of the crucial greatest artistic traditions in history.

For the second one edition, Rebecca Stone-Miller has added new subject matter covering the earliest mummification on the earth at Chinchorros, wonderful new Moche work of art and architectural reconstructions, the contemporary finds from the Chachapoyas culture, and a better emphasis on shamanism. All the way through, Stone-Miller demonstrates how the Andean peoples adapted and refined their aesthetic response to an extremely inhospitable environment.
