- Binding: Hardcover

- Publish date: 02/01/1997
Description:
Classic Maya civilization, unrivaled in the New World for its architectural and astronomical mastery, intricate writing systems, and brilliant art forms, disintegrated some 2,000 year ago. The Maya themselves, however, did not disappear; today, some formalin Maya continue to populate the highlands and rainforests of soutern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras. So too endure their textiles, the one art form to have persisted virtually intact. Focusing on these dazzling woven and brocaded fabrics while examining the history and ecology of their environment, The Maya Textile Tradition provides an in-depth look at the life and art of the Maya people.
Expand description
Portfolios of brilliant full-color images by Jeffrey Jay Foxx, award-winning photographer of Abrahams' Living Maya and The Turquoise Trail, capture the glorious Maya arts and culture. The photographs combine with expert yet anecdotal text -- themeselves beautifully illustrated with line drawings created especially for this book -- by four leading Maya scholars. Together they provide a singular portrait of these proud and vibrant people and their superb textiles.
