Author Description

"Pocket version synthesis of other books by the author on the same subject. In four chapters (precolumbian, colonial, republican, and 20th century), author gives a capsulated summary of what Ecuadorian art has been, from the past to the present, in a simple style intentionally suitable for high school students, hence its interest. Complemented with a short bibliography and a glossary of terms for those unfamiliar with the artistic and architectural field"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
