This page is maintained by Don Stierman , Chair of the Latin American Studies Institute. These are but scans of color slides taken of original works of art.
Colors are but a pale reproduction of the real thing.
Poor focus is also attributable to the reproduction process and not to the originals. These descriptions were written by the artist. Point and click on the image you wish to view in greater detail. Through my studies I found that both the Greeks and the Mayans had a fancy for line in common. This is the first piece in which I was able to combine the rational western space and the thick, dramatic, band-like lines of the Mayans.
