Pre Columbian Art and Architecture



A World History of Architecture by Marian Moffett,

A World History of Architecture by Marian Moffett,
A WORLD HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE In about 40 BCE the Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius declared "firmitas, utilitas, and "venustas -- firmness, commodity, and delight -- to be the three essential attributes of architecture. These qualities are brilliantly explored in this book, which uniquely comprises both a detailed survey of Western architecture, including Pre-Columbian America, and an introduction to architecture from the Middle East, India, Russia, China, and Japan. Written in a clear and engaging style, the text encourages readers to examine closely in photographs and line drawings the pragmatic, innovative, and aesthetic attributes of buildings, and to imagine how these would have been praised or criticized by contemporary observers. Architecture is discussed in various contexts -- artistic, economic, environmental, political, social, and technological -- so as to determine the extent to which buildings met the needs of clients, society at large, and future generations. This book also examines the unique methods of great architects past and present. Among them are Alvar Aalto, Robert Adam, Leon Battista Alberti, Filippo Brunelleschi, Gustave Eiffel, Peter Eisenman, Antonio Gaudi, Frank Gehry, Walter Gropius, Imhotep, Le Corbusier, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Michelangelo, Glenn Murcutt, Andrea Palladio, Eero Saarinen, Koca Sinan, Louis Sullivan, Christopher Wren, and Frank Lloyd Wright. The global reach of the text is matched by a rich assortment of photographs from the world over and a greater array of detailed line drawings than can be found in any architectural survey. The authors have created a formidable body of work that ranges over much of the world'sarchitectural heritage and testifies to some of the greatest achievements of the human spirit.

The Art of Mesoamerica: From Olmec to Aztec by Mary Ellen Miller,
The Art of Mesoamerica: From Olmec to Aztec by Mary Ellen Miller,
This essential guide to the art and architecture of ancient Mesoamerica succinctly and evocatively summarizes the artistic achievements of the high pre-Columbian civilizations -- Olmec, Maya, Teotihuacan, Tolec, Aztec -- as well as those of their less well-known contemporaries. The pyramids and palaces, jades and brightly colored paintings emerge from these pages as vividly as when they first astonished Cortes's men in 1519. There was a surprising unity in Mesoamerican culture from Mexico to Honduras and from 1500 B.C. to the Spanish Conquest. Among many features shared were a 260-day ritual calendar and a preoccupation with gods representing natural forces. Current research also emphasizes the great importance of rites of kingship, including warfare and blood sacrifice. In this third edition, Mary Miller opens up new windows on the ancient past with fresh readings of works of art, all the while offering careful archaeological interpretations. Recent hieroglyphic decipherments provide insights into ancient art, spelling out long-distance connections between the Maya and their neighbors. Updated throughout, with special attention to evidence for dating, the new Art of Mesoamerica is the ideal companion for students and travelers.

Pre-Columbian art - Pre-Columbian art is the art of Central and South America in the time prior to the arrival of European colonizers in the 16th century.

Spanish Pre-Romanesque art - The Pre-Romanesque art of Spain (in Spanish, arte prerrománico) refers to the art of Spain after the Classical Age and before Romanesque art and architecture; hence the term Pre-Romanesque. Although Spain as a nation did not exist during this period, the term is used here to describe the artwork that occured within the geographic boundries of what is today the Spanish nation.

Pre-Columbian Maya dance - In pre-Columbian Maya civilization, ritual dance had great importance. However, since dance is a transient art, it is inherently difficult for archeologists to find and evaluate evidence of its role.

Cleveland Museum of Art - Located in Cleveland's University Circle, the Cleveland Museum of Art has a permanent collection of more than 40,000 objects in 70 galleries. Established in 1913, the renowned museum is well known for its collections of Pre-Columbian, medieval European, and Asian art.
