Sculpture in the Ancient Maya Plaza: The Early Classic Period
0 - Default Title
Description
Here Flora Clancy, an art historian, explores the artistry revealed in the stelae, their aesthetic values, carving techniques, imagery, and text. Re-creating the social and cultural context of the Maya artist, Clancy explores the composition and images, knowledge and skills of the sculptor, and the relationship between the artist and patron. Her examination of the stelae and their pedestals reconstructs how the sculpture fit into the Maya artistic world and suggests how and why Maya art speaks to our own.
