Art of Colonial Latin America (Art and Ideas)

Large, heavy and beautiful book not only about the decorative Art but exhaustive historical texts.

Great read! I had to read this for a class, but I quite enjoyed it.

not a bad book; detailed enough to offer an overview from the pre-colombian to renaissance. great book to read on the beach or by the pool due to its size. however I was disappointed with the small size because it limits the size of the pictures and the paintings. perhaps should've purchased the book in large size. the epilogue can be skipped. seemed like an afterthought in putting together something for contemporary LatAm art. phaidon books' are consistent in the type of quality books they publish.

Great book for a really broad overview of Latin American art. Gives a brief introduction to Pre-Colonial Latin American art as well.

A++++++

This excellent book provides a thoughtful overview on a wide range of times and places in Latin America during the extensive Colonial period. The book exposes the reader to the complexities of the Colonization while explaining in a clear manner the originality and worth of the Amerindian art production during the this tumultuous and hybrid times.Through beautiful illustrations, the art of the continent is given the well-deserved attention that other books on the topic are lacking. Highly recommended to anybody interested in the history and arts of the Americas.

I wasnt sure what to think about ordering a "used" book, however, this book was in mint condition and i was plesantly suprised! Thanks for the great product and awesome prices

Great book! I order it for my college class and it came in pretty quickly ! It was brand new and it was A little hard to understand and it also fell a part pretty quickly.
