Pre-Columbian Art and the Post-Columbian World: Ancient

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Braun, Barbara, PUBLISHER: ABRAMS, Until this trailblazing book, now reissued in paperback, much attention had been given to the connection between modern art and indigenous African forms, while pre-Columbian sources of modern art had been largely unexplored. Correcting this oversight, Barbara Braun offers an in-depth look at Paul Gauguin, Frank Lloyd Wright, Diego Rivera, Henry Moore, and Joaquin Torres Garcia and the pre-Columbian forms that provided inspiration for their art, dramatizing the often surprising comparisons in over 300 striking illustrations. Together with an overview of more recent artists who continue to be indebted to ancient American forms and ideas.

FROM THE WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION OF WORLD'S FAIR PLATE/TRINKET Product Description World's Columbian Exposition Fair This Little Trinket or Plate has "Worlds Fair " in the Center.  Has pretty edging around it! Such a Fun, Unique Collector's Piece! The mile-long Midway at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago was the closest an amusement seeker came to a sure thing in .  The Columbian Exposition was the first major American fair since the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of , and it marked the beginning of a golden era. It was followed in the next decade by world's fairs in Atlanta, Nashville, Omaha, Buffalo and St. Louis. As American social historian David Nasaw has written in "Going Out: The Rise and Fall of Public Amusements," the fairs were meant to do far more than merely amuse the public: "The world's fairs were paeans to progress, concrete demonstrations of how order and organization, high culture and art, science and technology, commerce and industry, all brought together under the wise administration of business and government, would lead inevitably to a brighter, more prosperous future." In many ways, they were the ultimate expression of their age.  The World's Columbian Exposition, celebrating the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's landing in America, was actually held in , a year later than had been planned. New York City, Washington, D.C., St.Louis, and Chicago had all vied for the honor of housing the exposition, and it was during this vigorous and often vocal competition that Charles A. Dana, editor of the New York Sun, dubbed Chicago "that windy city." Chicago's lobbyists finally won out and, on April , President Benjamin Harrison signed the act that designated Chicago as the site of the exposition. It took three frantic years of preparation and work to produce the exposition. Although dedication ceremonies were held on October , the fairgrounds were not opened to the public until May . The exposition closed on October . MG Pictures are of actual item you are bidding on or considering purchasing. All pictures are part of the description. Please examine them carefully.

The name Teōtīhuacān was given by the Nahuatl-speaking Aztec centuries after the fall of the city meaning "place where gods were born". The city reached its peak in AD 450, when it was the center of a powerful culture whose influence extended through much of the Mesoamerican region with a population of about people. The Teotihuacan heads were probably used as personal totems, funerary figures or token sacrifies.

  Pre Columbian reproduced Muisca terracotta

This is a really nicely created Pre a Columbian double Jar and spout stirrup vessel typical of Muisca Culture of Columbia.  It was recreated in painstaking detail with patina and manganese deposits.  I believe a series of Pre Columbian art pieces have been made in Britain and this is one of several I have purchased.  Nicely done.  Sits on two pottery rings.  Great for the lower budget collector of pre Columbian artifacts and from a culture not typically seen online.  Great eye catching decor.  Muisca culture is from Columbia circa C to BC.  They were a very large and well devolved pre Columbian confederations of cultures and were larger than most other groups more readily known.  Thought to exist beginning as long as BC. Heavy item for shipping but sturdy.  11 inches long, 8 inches tall, and 51/2 inches deep.  Big boy. Beautifully rendered. See my other Pre Columbian artifacts and unique gifts.

  REPLICA Of Pre Columbian/Meso american

 You are bidding on this PRE COLUMBIAN/MESOAMERICAN REPLICA TERRA COTTA "BULL PITCHER" From an estate sale, this is a very unique item.  It is in very good condition, but does have some chips and fleabites consistent with terra cotta pottery.  This is a hand crafted, terra cotta pitcher that is shaped like a bull.  It is hand painted on both sides with flowers, leaves and vines and it wears some sort of  necklace.  It is engraved on the bottom "VITORINO", which I am assuming to be the artist or maker.  It measures approximately 8" across from snout to edge of handle (which is the tail), 8-1/8" tall to the top of the ears, 4-1/4" deep and the bottom diameter is 3-1/8".  After a lot of research, I was not able find any information on this piece or the name "Vitorino" relating to this piece.  I did consult a pottery expert who explained that it appears to be in the Pre-Columbian/Mesoamerican style, but that it looks like a replica.  A very unique and interesting piece to add to your collection. I am not an expert and the condition I have listed is only my opinion based on the criteria listed below.  Therefore, please review all pictures carefully prior to bidding to form your own opinion of the item's condition and if you have any questions, please e-mail me.   Payment is due within 48 hours of end of auction, unless prior arrangements have been made please. Thanks for looking.                                                                                                  MINT:   Like New or New EXCELLENT:   Pre-owned, but like new with very minor wear, if any (small scratches or abrasions which are barely noticeable) VERY GOOD:   Pre-owned and shows some wear (scratches and/or abrasions, light crazing, small chips/flea bites) consistent with age of item GOOD:   Pre-owned and shows wear such as heavy utensil scratches and/or abrasions, fading paint and/or gild, etc. FAIR:   Pre-owned or used and shows considerable wear such as crazing, chips, cracks, many scratches or abrasions, etc.

Light grey granular stone. These three extremely rare pieces are about years old and are excellent examples of authentic pre-columbian craftsmanship! Two statue figurines and a stone face originating from the Central Valleys of Oaxaca; a region where a series of ancient cultures flourished in successive order. The kneeling figurine is in good condition, however the left side of the nose is chipped. It still remains a remarkable antique and the artistic crafting of the face and its expression is incredibly life-like.The standing figure is equally remarkable.It appears to have a head dress of feathers and the face is in profile. The small stone face is in excellent condition for its age and highly expressive. There is a small hole beneath the chin and one at the back of the head at the top indicating that this piece either belonged to a larger part or was mounted at some time for display purposes. There are also two small holes (nostrils) directly beneath the nose which cannot be seen by the photo angle.Genuine extraordinary pre-columbian artifacts from the region of the Central Valleys of Oaxaca. Without doubt rare artifacts for any collector anywhere in the world and highly representative of the ancient indigenous civilization from which they originate.All 3 pieces are being sold as one item.

Questions concerning these artifacts are welcome.
