“Fills a void in the genre. . . . Excellent descriptions and interpretations.” ―Latin American Antiquity

This wide-ranging survey has established itself as the best singlevolume introduction to Andean art and architecture, and is an essential guide to pre-Columbian Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia for the general reader, student, traveler, and artist alike. Describing the strikingly varied artistic achievements of the Chavín, Paracas, Moche, Nasca, Chimu, and Inca cultures, among others, Rebecca Stone has rewritten and expanded the text throughout, touching on many of the recent discoveries and advances in the field. Throughout this fully revised third edition, Stone demonstrates how the Andean peoples adapted and refined their aesthetic response to a formidable and demanding environment and explored the interface between the terrestrial and the otherworldly according to the value they placed on shamanic religious experience. 203 illustrations, 90 in color

Dr. Rebecca R. Stone (who has also published under Rebecca Stone-Miller) is a professor of Art History at Emory University in Atlanta. After seven long years of grad school at Yale, then one year teaching at Johns Hopkins, she landed back in her hometown of Atlanta in 1988 and has been there ever since…Four books later, she is working on a fifth back with Yale University Press, a co-authored (with Laura M. Wingfield) textbook on the art and culture of the true center of the Americas, from what is now Ecuador to Honduras. However, she started working on the redesign of the Advanced Placement Art History curriculum back in 2010-- the goal was to make more of the world's art part of the course and examination. She was the Indigenous Americas "person" and enjoyed applying what she had learned teaching 101 lectures on the Americas at Emory over the years to this task with much broader appeal (did you know over 20,000 students take the APAH test each year!?). So these three guides she is writing for the teachers of the new course (it's pretty scary adding all this new material, but such a good cause!) will be coming out in '14 (the Andes one is already available) and the first half of '15 (first Mesoamerica and then Native North America). The teachers need time to get up to speed and help their students appreciate the wonders of all the art on the planet!!! Welcome to the 21st century.

This book covers a wealth of knowledge about the various peoples inhabiting the Andes from 10,000 BC to the Spanish conquest. It is
extremely well written and is profusely illustrated with both drawings and photographs many of which are in color. If you have any interest in
Incan art or the art forms of other peoples inhabiting the Andes then you will certainly want to purchase a copy of this book.

I needed this book for school, I was taking a class in Pre-Colombian Art and this was a required text. The book goes into very detail information about the Andean Culture and history with Plenty of High Quality Pictures. Definitely a great read for anyone interested in the subject or taking a class as I was.

This is a must have book if you are interested in Andean arts. It covers textiles (my interest), sculpture, paint, ceramics and architecture. It shows the connections both between cultures and over time and how landscape and climate influenced the arts.

I bought this book for a class and it was actually readable. It got a little wordy at times, but it's an academic book so that is to be expected. I liked how the author mixed the art with the history and blended it together with images so the information stuck.

4.0 out of 5 stars Une introduction utile.
Reviewed in France on June 2, 2017
Verified Purchase
Très bonne introduction sur l'art des Andes précolombiennes.
Les principales civilisations des Chavins aux Incas y sont présentées.
On trouve ainsi des chapitres sur les Paracas, les Mochicas et les Nascas par exemple.
Toutes les formes de l'art sont étudiées, de l'architecture en passant par la céramique et les textiles.
La bibliographie est thématique et commentée, ce qui est très pratique lorsque l'on veut aller plus loin.

Un seul bémol l'illustration est assez inégale. Le noir et blanc l'emporte sur la couleur et quelques photos sont de mauvaise qualité.
C'est regrettable pour un livre assez récent (2012).
Néanmoins cette synthèse en vaut vraiment la peine.
Si le sujet vous intéresse, n'hésitez pas.
