The exhibit consists of sculpture garnered from all over Central America where pre-Columbian cul- tures flourished—such as the Az- tecs, Mayas, Toltecs, Mixtecs, Za- potecs, and many other peoples. It is an exciting collection of primitive art. The realistic bru- tality of the early artist, his frank- ness and his delightful (or at times macabre) sense of humor are all depicted for the observer to enjoy. The vicissitudes of the sculptor’s nature, as portrayed in his art, are here just as he left them hundreds of years ago. Of particular interest are the “schance glimpses into the life of the péople—the ceramic acrobat, the ballplayer and the great stone ring through which he threw his ball (a sideways version of basketball) il- lustrate some of their amusements. Their gods are represented here too, in the statue of the Aztec Quetzalcoatl (possibly identifiable with their. god of the winds) and the numerous motifs of the plum- ed serpent.

One snake is coiled in a tall cylinder, lying in wait for the unwary. The work of one artist is represented by an eagle standing beautifully, if horribly, upon a man’s skull. The pre-Columbians’ portrayal of the human figure is strangely unrealistic, and they adapted the figure to many uses on such objects as jars and urns. There is a fas- cinating bas-relief of a Mayan war- rior, in limestone. An Aztec calendar stone,» com- plete with gylphs is included in |the collection; according to the words of a museum official you would have to toss a coin to deter- mine the date represented on it. A huge Aztec sacrificial basin is a fascinating part of the exhibit, with its gruesome holes high in the sides where the blood of the victim could flow out. The artists used varied materials, including basalt, alabaster, volcan- ic stone, granite, elay and terra cotta, and what they did with these materials makes their art unique. The selections, from the Louise and Walter Arensberg Collection, will be featured at the museum from October 8 to December 5.
