This book is in very good condition. There is a slight bit of shelf wear at the covers edges. The spine is not broken and the pages show no wear or use. In non book terms, this is a beautiful book by the Americas Society that takes an in depth look at Guaman Poma's illustrations and letters.

One of the finest exponents of Latin American Kinetic and Op art, the Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez (born in 1923) is a legend among contemporaries such as Jesus Soto and Alejandro Otero--and across Latin America and Europe--but has been woefully little exhibited in North America. Those who caught the groundbreaking 2007 traveling exhibition The Geometry of Hope will recall Cruz-Diez's standout contributions, which had viewers bumping into one another as they negotiated the color shifts and sensations of motion that his sculptural constructions induced. A pioneer in color theory and color perception, Cruz-Diez solicits physical participation in his audience. In late 2008, the Americas Society, known for its leading role in presenting innovative site installations by artists such as Gego, Lygia Pape and Pedro Reyes, orchestrated Cruz-Diez's first solo exhibition in the United States, for which Carlos Cruz Diez: InFormed by Color is the exhibition catalogue--the first comprehensive publication in English devoted to the artist.

The True Poetry: The Art of Maria Izquierdo

Ferrer, Elizabeth

This illustrated bilingual study explores the development of Talavera Poblana tin-glazed earthenware, from the seventeenth century when it was introduced to the New World in Puebla, Mexico, to the present day. These distinctive ceramic basins, vases, drug jars, tile panels, and sculptures synthesize forms and motifs of Spanish, Islamic, Chinese, and Italian origins to create a magnificent, uniquely Mexican style. 
In 1565, when trade opened with Asia, Spain began importing Chinese porcelain in large quantities, and by the mid-seventeenth century, Puebla ceramists had succumbed to the fashion for Chinese blue-on-white porcelain. At the height of the Spanish empire, Talavera Poblana enjoyed the widest distribution of any ceramic ware in the New World. Around the time of Mexican independence the Talavera Poblana ceramic tradition experienced a collapse, to be revived in the early twentieth century. 
This collection of important examples of colonial, modern, and contemporary ceramics from Puebla celebrates the continuity of a ceramic tradition that both looks back to its cultural history and reveals a renewed contemporary vision.
