It revels in the complexity that the subject demands...as a highly original study of the medium in Moche culture, not to mention its innovative theoretical apparatus to consider the logic, understandings, and experience of Andean mural painting more broadly, Trever’s volume is absolutely essential and there is much to recommend...Image Encounters affords a breath-taking tour of this least studied of Andean monumental arts, and extends guidance to consider Moche imagery, image-making, and society anew.

These convictions set Trever’s work apart from a significant swath of scholarship on the Moche; they also introduce an experimental air to her book, for art historians too rarely write about ancient cultures by so fully cordoning off alphabetic writing that dates from the colonial (and even modern) period. \u003ci\u003eImage Encounters\u003c\/i\u003e reshapes prevailing understandings of Moche culture on many registers.\u003c\/div\u003e (Early American Literature)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2022 Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J.

Created in an era without written scripts, these murals are key to understandings of Moche history, society, and culture. In this first comprehensive study on the subject, Lisa Trever develops an interdisciplinary methodology of “archaeo art history” to examine how ancient histories of art can be written without texts, boldly inverting the typical relationship of art to archaeology. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Trever argues that early coastal artistic traditions cannot be reduced uncritically to interpretations based in much later Inca histories of the Andean highlands. Instead, the author seeks the origins of Moche mural art, and its emphasis on figuration, in the deep past of the Pacific coast of South America. \u003ci\u003eImage Encounters\u003c\/i\u003e shows how formal transformations in Moche mural art, before and after the seventh century, were part of broader changes to the work that images were made to perform at Huacas de Moche, El Brujo, PaÑamarca, and elsewhere in an increasingly complex social and political world. In doing so, this book reveals alternative evidentiary foundations for histories of art and visual experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Preface \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction: Image Encounters \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chapter 1.
