The Roland Collection

Deals with the pre-Columbian art of the groups of people from Mexico's high central plateau and the Gulf of Mexico. The plastic arts of the Totonac, Toltec and Mexican cultures reveal the continuity of a deeply religious and warlike view of the universe. The violence and beauty of these creations express a dramatic encounter with a mythical reality. The identity of Mesoamerica was preserved for centuries through this extraordinary view of the cosmos.
