Heritage of Power: Ancient Sculpture from West Mexico
New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2004

Last month we purchased some new art books at the annual sale at the store of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Among the offerings were current and past exhibition catalogs at up to 70% off the regular price! These new visual art resources range in topic from modern Chinese painting to American glass art. A personal favorite is Heritage of Power: Ancient Sculpture from West Mexico. This book features forty Precolumbian sculptures from the West Mexican states of Jalisco, Colima, and Nayarit. The expressive ceramic figures of warriors, couples, and ballplayers are just some of the artistic gems from the Met’s collection featured here.

Interested in learning more about art from Western Mexico? Visit The Metropolitan Museum’s Web site for a general overview of the time period.
