"Innovation and Repetition in the Art of Chichen Itza"
University of Chicago Humanities Day
October 17, 2015
Claudia Brittenham, Associate Professor in the Department of Art History

What is the relationship between innovation and repetition? Are the two diametrically opposed or intimately related? This presentation will consider these questions through the lens of the art and architecture of Chichen Itza, one of ancient Mexico’s most cosmopolitan and creative cities.
