Latin American Art: Ancient to Modern

Rating:
Summary: Essentially Pre-Columbian
Review: Scott's book is essentially on Pre-Columbian art. Of 226 pages of text and images, more than half, 138 are devoted to the pre-Conquest period. The Colonial period gets 52 pages, "Art After Independence" gets 36 pages! The book's title is misleading for someone looking for a more satisfactory coverage of the "Modern" period in Latin America.

Summary: A great introduction to Latin American Art
Review: This is a great general view of Latin American art that helps to put the history of Latin America in perspective. It is easy to read and well organized with maps, timelines, illustrations, and photographs to assit the reader.
