Virginia Museum of Art




These from Sydney Lewis, of Best and Company. He traded paintings for Appliances and Electronics back in the 70's. He ended up with a great 80's collection.

Museo Nacional de Antropología, Codex





Some of the most compelling images in relation to contemporary art. There were a lot of great examples but hard to photograph as they are under glass. I have included a site which has the best Codexes.

I have been trying to figure out their relation to Medieval manuscripts, as in Spain that Picasso knew of before making Demoiselles de Avignon.








A great site for other Codex:
