Summary
"Fascinating study about the frescos executed in Mexico by indigenous artists during Spain's domination, in particular those at Actopan, Ixmiquilpan, Texamachalco, and Puebla. Includes an additional section on Mexican convents. Text is beautifully complemented by excellent photographs. Examines the frescos as the meeting ground of different 'cosmovisions.' Within them, European and Amerindian mentalities collide in subtle visual metaphors of complex sensibility, often with fascinating results"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
