    The Unborn, Women, and Creation

    de Carolyn E. Tate ...
    Series series The William and Bettye Nowlin Series in Art, History, and Culture of the Western Hemisphere
    Recently, scholars of Olmec visual culture have identified symbols for umbilical cords, bundles, and cave-wombs, as well as a significant number of women portrayed on monuments and as figurines.

    The Design of a Maya Ceremonial City

    de Carolyn E. Tate ...

This urgency underlies Yaxchilan: The Design of a Maya Ceremonial City, Carolyn Tate's ... Leer más

    de James M. Córdova ...
    Series series Latin American and Caribbean Arts and Culture Publication Initiative, Mellon Foundation

  • Kahlo

    de Gerry Souter ...
    Behind Frida Kahlo’s portraits, lies the story of both her life and work. It is precisely this combination that draws the reader in. Frida’s work is a record of her life, and rarely can we learn so much about an artist from what she records inside the picture frame. Frida Kahlo truly is Mexico’s gift to the history of art. She was just eighteen years old when a terrible bus accident changed her ... Leer más

    An Autobiography

    Traducido por Robert C. Stephenson ...
    de José Clemente Orozco ...
    The artistic eminence of José Clemente Orozco (1883–1949) is such that he has been called “the greatest painter the Americas have produced.” In his Autobiography he also attains literary distinction. He is a writer who recounts the history of his period from a personal point of view and yet scarcely mentions himself.

  • Art Against Dictatorship

    Making and Exporting Arpilleras Under Pinochet

  • Argentine, Mexican, and Guatemalan Photography

    Feminist, Queer, and Post-Masculinist Perspectives

    de David William Foster ...
    One of the important cultural responses to political and sociohistorical events in Latin America is a resurgence of urban photography, which typically blends high art and social documentary. But unlike other forms of cultural production in Latin America, photography has received relatively little sustained critical analysis.
