Mural Painting and Social Revolution in Mexico, 1920-1940 is the first full-length account of this major movement in the history of Modernism. Following the Revolution of 1910, Mexican society underwent a profound transformation in every sector of political and cultural life. Mexican artists participated in this social revolution during a vital two-decade period through public art programmes funded by the government and other institutions. Applying a social-historical methodology, Leonard Folgarait examines this phenomenon and focuses on the mural paintings of Diego Rivera, José Orozco, and David Siqueiros produced during this period. He provides an indepth analysis of the form and meaning of these mural cycles, while documenting the system of patronage, the critical connections between state policy and aesthetics, and the visual strategies devised by patrons and artists in order to maximise the impact of these propagandistic images.

Mural painting has always been the art form most characteristic of Mexico. From the prehistoric rock paintings of Sonora to the sophisticated mural art of Teotihuacan and the Maya city of Bonampak, the language of color was the means of communication of many Mexican civilizations, and writing existed only in the form of painted (or carved) hieroglyphs. As the author of this book shows in a fascinating analysis of Aztec oral literature, the Aztecs used the names of colors as synonyms for beauty and art, and their poetry is an iridescent reflection of the lost splendor of their mural paintings. This tradition was never entirely lost after the Spanish conquest. Even after European artistic conventions had displaced the early postconquest Indian religious painters, with their remarkable capacity for adapting native style to Christian subject matter, mural decoration remained a living part of Mexican popular and religious art. It survived on the walls of remote Indian churches and of humble pulque-shops until the gradual rise of national and revolutionary movements in the nineteenth century created a demand for a committed public art. The catalyst was the Revolution of 1910-17. Diego Rivera, Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros and a host of other remarkable artists began, in the famous murals of the Escuela Nacional Preparatoria, a pictorial narrative of the national story which has since been elaborated on the walls of public buildings throughout the country. The volume and variety of this mural painting, with its reflection of widely differing personalities and attitudes to Mexico's turbulent and triumphant history, have here been recorded on an epic scale. In his text, Dr. Antonia Rodriguez spans thousands of years of the history of a country which, through successive waves of invasion, exploitation and destruction, has maintained a thread of cultural identity.

Full-color reproductions of mural paintings on Temple of Emerald Buddha with text (in Thai & English) based on story of Ramakian by Rama I the Great after his coronation as 1st king of Chakri Dynasty.

Divine Interiors is an investigation into the decoration of Greek and Roman temples with wall paintings. Mighty marble facades, sculptures and paintings played an important role in relation to these monuments. While the official temples, which were connected to the city or state, usually had a simple but solemn appearance, the more popular buildings were true multi-color expressions of religiosity. Scenes from the life of the revered deity, supporters and practitioners of the cult, or of plants and animals could carry visitors of the shrines away to different worlds. It is also striking to find in the vast Greco-Roman world that there are many similarities between often widely separated temples. The wall paintings were characterized by stylistic and taste changes, but they had the same look everywhere. Besides using archeological remains, this book also uses the texts of antiquity, whose descriptions of the monuments provide additional information. Amsterdam Archaeological Studies is a series devoted to the study of past human societies from the prehistory up into modern times, primarily based on the study of archaeological remains. The series will include excavation reports of modern fieldwork; studies of categories of material culture; and synthesising studies with broader images of past societies, thereby contributing to the theoretical and methodological debates in archaeology.

Painting and calligraphy flourished in Lahore during the Mughal period, and later under British rule. New research on these arts has been presented in this book.

Honorable Mention, ALAA Book Award, Association for Latin American Art/Arvey Foundation, 2016Between AD 650 and 950, artists at the small Central Mexican city-state of Cacaxtla covered the walls of their most important sacred and public spaces with dazzling murals of gods, historical figures, and supernatural creatures. Testimonies of a richly interconnected ancient world, the Cacaxtla paintings present an unexpectedly deep knowledge of the art and religion of the Maya, Zapotec, and other distant Mesoamerican peoples. Painted during a period of war and shifting alliances after the fall of Teotihuacan, the murals' distinctive fusion of cosmopolitan styles and subjects claimed a powerful identity for the beleaguered city-state.Presenting the first cohesive, art historical study of the entire painting corpus, The Murals of Cacaxtla demonstrates that these magnificent works of art constitute a sustained and local painting tradition, treasured by generations of patrons and painters. Exhaustive chapters on each of the mural programs make it possible to see how the Cacaxtla painting tradition developed over time, responding to political and artistic challenges. Lavishly illustrated, The Murals of Cacaxtla illuminates the agency of ancient artists and the dynamics of artistic synthesis in a Mesoamerican context, offering a valuable counterpoint to studies of colonial and modern art operating at the intersection of cultural traditions.

This illustrated art book, with original photographic documentation, provides an excellent introduction to the artistic imagery and symbols of ancient Mesoamerica.'
