Beginning with what has been taken to be the earliest three-dimensional European representation of Native Americans, he then focuses on the migration of such images via 16th century Meso-American codices to the murals painted by Diego Rivera four centuries later. Mason also looks at the relationship between drawing and engraving of natives of Formosa by Georges Psalmanaazaar, who never traveled to that country. Finally, he examines representations of the native peoples of Tierra del Fuego, from their first encounters with Europeans in the late 16th century to the present, paying particular attention to their visual traces in the work of such well-known artists as Odilon Redon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMason's fascinating study teases out some of the implications of these particular cases to discover a concept of the image that is both primary and can truly be said to have a life of its own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Mason\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1861891148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781861891143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.74h x 6.14w x 0.73d","brand":"Peter Mason","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065864302847,"sku":"9781861891143","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f663363-477e-4b82-b1d3-f4a3aeaa9ef5.jpg?v=1768677754","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lives-of-images-peter-mason-9781861891143","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
