Mesoamerican communities past and present are characterized by their strong inclination toward color and their expert use of the natural environment to create dyes and paints. In pre-Hispanic times, skin was among the preferred surfaces on which to apply coloring materials. Archaeological research and historical and iconographic evidence show that, in Mesoamerica, the human body—alive or dead—received various treatments and procedures for coloring it. Painting the Skin brings together exciting research on painted skins in Mesoamerica. Chapters explore the materiality, uses, and cultural meanings of the colors applied to a multitude of skins, including bodies, codices made of hide and vegetal paper, and even building “skins.” Contributors offer physicochemical analysis and compare compositions, manufactures, and attached meanings of pigments and colorants across various social and symbolic contexts and registers. They also compare these Mesoamerican colors with those used in other ancient cultures from both the Old and New Worlds. This cross-cultural perspective reveals crucial similarities and differences in the way cultures have painted on skins of all types. Examining color in Mesoamerica broadens understandings of Native religious systems and world views. Tracing the path of color use and meaning from pre-Columbian times to the present allows for the study of the preparation, meanings, social uses, and thousand-year origins of the coloring materials used by today’s Indigenous peoples.

ART HISTORY AND ART THEORYAs we celebrate souls of our times and preserve their beauty in paint and color for posterity, we must ask, what can we learn from ancient portraits and portrait artists in history so that our portraits will have the same timeless qualities? We must ask, what insights do we need to help us produce meaning¬ful and eternal portraits? This book offers answers to these questions and more - the wisdom of the ages for all portrait lovers. A Short Story of Skin Tones in Art features a list of masterpieces by artists - portraits that have inspired art lovers for centuries. The book also includes an essay on the secret teachings of twelve portrait masters. Here, you'll discover the legacies of mystics, Humanists and great minds disguised as portrait artists. Some of these artists spent most of their lives defying the odds. Undeterred, they stuck with their instincts and, like all frontiersmen, went on to pave new roads for others, ultimately leaving us with a deeper understanding of the minds and habits of great artists and what it takes to capture portraits that go beyond skill. Included also is a step-by-step demo of impressionistic portrait techniques, a tribute to women artists in history, and an essay on the evangelists of impressionism.
