Through a careful selection of impressive sculptural works, this fine edition covers from the most ancient pre-Hispanic cultures to the latest manifestations of this artistic discipline: from stony strength of the sculpture of the Lanzón (supreme deity) de Chavín de Huantar, the minimalist delicacy of the Chancay ceramics, the sculptural manifestations of religious art during the Viceroyalty and the installations and contemporary performances in which the human body becomes a sculptural design. Mario Vargas Llosa explains in his preface: "All the sculpture move or surprise us for their originality and perfection, no matter what they are done in: clay, stone, wood or metal; they always appeal to an intimacy deeper than mere rational knowledge, that secret dimension where we feel that the human is not exhausted as purely material and is transcendental [Our translation]."
