Seller's Description:
New. 1904982565. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened--256 pages; 125 illustrations. Description: "This is the English language edition of 'El Poder de los Colores' by Gabriela Siracusano, published by Fondo de Cultura Economica, Buenos Aires 2005-the result of a study of cultural practices related to the uses of coloring materials in the South American Andean region during the Colonial period (XVI to XVIII centuries) and their 'powerful' presence in the images of the Conquest. It offers the reader a new insight into the techniques and use of colour in Andean Colonial painting. Starting with an analysis of the images and the concept of representation during the process of evangelization/domination, the book shows the discursive and iconographic strategies used by different parties to achieve several goals through the use of color. The book's main hypothesis is that colors were silent protagonists of the Andean ritual system, a fact that was identified only by certain 'idol exterminators' who tried to 'rebrand' them by giving them a Christian meaning. Contents: Grinding and mixing subtle elements; Mechanical and servile arts in Spain and Andean America: colours in the workshop; Saturn and Mercury in the studio: hermetic and practical learning; Good medycines of all colours: healing and painting in Andean America; Representations, colours and powers of the sacred. --with a bonus offer--
