{"product_id":"9781636811345","title":"We Live in Painting: The Nature of Color in Mesoamerican Art","description":"\u003cb\u003eAuthor: Magaloni, Diana\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAncient Mesoamerican artists held a cosmic responsibility. As they used colour to adorn buildings, clay vessels, textiles, bark-paper pages, sculptures, textiles, wall murals, mosaics and other items, they quite literally made the world. The power of colour emerged from the materiality of its pigments and the communities whose knowledge of the natural world imbued it with meaning. This title provides an in-depth exploration of the science and art of colour in Mesoamerica.Histories of colonialism and industrialisation in the “colour-averse” West have minimised the profound significance of colour in the Indigenous Americas. This lavishly illustrated catalogue, published as part of the PST ART series, follows two interconnected lines of inquiry—technical and material analyses, and Indigenous conceptions of art and image—to reach the full richness of color at the core of historical and contemporary Mesoamerican worldviews.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781636811345.
