The Art Of Mesoamerica by Mary Miller
From Olmec to Aztec
A richly illustrated, wide-ranging survey that traces the development of Mesoamerican artistic traditions from the Formative through the Postclassic periods, examining major cultures (Olmec, Teotihuacan, Maya, Mixtec, Aztec and others), media and techniques, iconography, and the social, political and ritual contexts that shaped imagery and objects. The book balances close visual analysis of monuments, sculpture, ceramics, murals and codices with archaeological and historical evidence to show how art functioned in systems of power, religion and identity, how styles and ideas circulated across regions, and how continuity and transformation unfolded over millennia. Written for students and general readers, it synthesizes current scholarship while emphasizing interpretation of form, symbolism and the material lives of artworks.
