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:

Sculpture, different odd sculpture. The styles seem to be endless. I had tried to put it all in a box. I don't think that is going to work. Or it is a much larger scheme than I realized.

And the Olmec realist heads are some of the earliest.
