    Description
    This course is a survey of the art of Mexico from pre-history to the nineteenth century. A chronological study covering the various indigenous civilizations, the encounter with European cultures, and the development of a Mexican art from the combination of the two cultures. Emphasis is given to the continuity of a distinctive Mesoamerican philosophical and religious outlook as manifested in painting, sculpture, architecture, and ceramics studied, and their utilitarian and ceremonial use.
