Stone-Miller, Rebecca
Art of the Andes: From Chavin to Inca
London and New York Thames & Hudson; World of Art Ser. 1996 0500202869 / 9780500202869 Trade Paperback Fine
224 pp., illus. (some col.), maps, bib. notes, index; 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. "This wide-ranging survey has established itself as the best single-volume introduction to Andean art and architecture. It describes the strikingly varied artistic achievements of the Chavín, Paracas, Moche, Chimú and Inca cultures, among others. Their impressive cities, tall pyramids, shining goldwork and intricate textiles constitute one of the greatest artistic traditions in history. This fully revised edition adds new material covering the earliest mummification in the world at Chinchorros, wonderful new Moche murals and architectural reconstructions, the latest finds from the Chachapoyas culture, and a greater emphasis on shamanism. Throughout, Rebecca Stone-Miller demonstrates how the Andean peoples adapted and refined their aesthetic response to an extremely inhospitable environment." - Publisher.
