A scholarly look at the shamanic aesthetic as it embraced Pre-Columbian art form Middle America to the Andes.By Larry RobertsBesides a scholarly study of shamanism as it applies to Mesoamericam and Andean art. one gets inside the visionary revelations that manifests in the spiritualists mind. You are introduced to a cultural phenomenon that most shy from because the subject embraces an incredible revelation. that hallucinogens and ritual art are one. Anthropology is just beginning to except illuminated art as societal marker. Great book Ms. Stone. looking forward to your next publication.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent book. poor designBy HannahA really excellent. scholarly art book. Very well-researched. ample examples.My only problem with the book has to do with whoever was responsible for page layouts. The author references numerous works of art on each page. but those works almost always appear in other chapters. making it difficult to visually reference what the author is discussing. The side margins of the book are quite large and it would have been possible to reproduce thumbnails of the artwork referenced right beside the text that references it. Chapter numbers are also not included in footers. so it is hard to find fig. 7.3 when one is in chapter 2. As it is. one must commit to a LOT of hunting to reference each piece of art being discussed.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
