Moche Fineline Painting from San Jose De Moro

"This volume provides an opportunity to see the work of a community of Pre-Columbian potters and painters. Many of them probably knew each other, and would have been able to recognize each other's work. Through a detailed analysis of the painted vessels from San Jose de Moro, the authors identify multiple paintings by individual artists, and use similarities in style to suggest how the paintings by certain artists influenced the paintings of others. This ground-breaking book allows the reader, tor the first time, to visualize and appreciate a community of Moche potters and painters who developed a distinctive style of ceramics and left a splendid legacy in clay."--BOOK JACKET.
