About This Item
"The success of the book fully justifies a second printing, in collaboration with the Cultural Department of the State Government. The book will enable the reader to better appreciate the bright colors of the fired clay brought out still further by the contrast of the chiaroscuro technique. The "fat dogs" depicted in the photographs are characteristic figures within Colima's ceramic tradition and are full of symbolic value which is further enhanced through the magic of the lens and the interplay of light, shadow and form.
The book draws attention to the mature aesthetic sensibility and visual insight of the great artist Alejandro Rangel Hidalgo. His photographs highlight the virtues of an ancient art, which is gone forever but still inspiring. This new edition will enable us to contribute to the understanding of the cultures of pre-Columbian Western Mexico, of which Colima is a singularly important center." Carlos Salazar Silva, Rector, University of Colima.
