This is the first comprehensive book on Aztec art: eleven
chapters illustrated with seventy-five superb color plates and
hundreds of photographs, supplemented by maps and diagrams. Temple
architecture, majestic stone sculpture carved without metal tools,
featherwork and turquoise mosaic, painted books, and sculptures in
terra cotta and rare stones - all are here.
Pasztory has placed these major works of Pre-Columbian art in a
historical context, relating them to the reigns of individual
rulers, events in Aztec history, and the needs of different social
groups from the elite to the farmer. She focuses on the
little-known aspects of the aesthetics, poetry and humanity of the
Aztecs.
