Pre-Columbian Mexican Miniatures

"In selecting the objects to include in this book, Anni Albers was guided by her belief that all art is an act of condensation; that the small pre-Columbian images shown here are truly a lesson in economy of artistic articulation, that neither small size nor a modest material, such as clay, nor even the specific idiom of a period will keep true art from emanating its timeless meaning." --book jacket
