Painted Architecture and Polychrome Monumental Sculpture in Mesoamerica investigates the use and importance of color over a broad geographic and temporal range in Mesoamerica. Areas of focus include the Maya approach to painted architecture and sculpture, the situation in Oaxaca from the Preclasssic to the Conquest, and the use of color in Postclassic Central Mexico. By turning attention toward polychromic diversity in architecture and sculpture, the essays in this volume open unto a broader understanding of Mesoamerican art and art history, one that expands beyond monochromatic interpretations in the visual arts.
