The Patanias: A legacy in silver and gold (Contemporary southwest images / Stonewall Foundation)

•A stunning and unique way of presenting Pre-Columbian art to the public •A lavishly illustrated book where art and history meet in a passionate narrative •Full page/multiple color illustrations - an almost three-dimensional experience Along with 150 full-color glossy illustrations of the terracotta, earthenware, stone, silver, and copper objects, a Pre-Columbian art lover and prestigious curator journey into a fine art collection, describing the rich cultural context and artistic merits of each work. On his part, the acclaimed author, explorer, and filmmaker Hugh Thomson gives a detailed, exciting narrative - based upon extensive research - of the role art played in the conquest of Mexico by Hernán Cortés and of Peru by Francisco Pizarro. It is rare that a collector takes such a personal, descriptive part in publishing his treasure trove, but in this lavishly illustrated book, Stuart Handler describes why he gathered Pre-Columbian art, what attracted him to the individual pieces, and what artistic attributes make these objects outstanding works.
