What was the inspiration behind Incan art?

Question

I'm doing a project, and I have to know this. Who can tell me? PLZ?????

Answer 1

Your research should have led you to the fact that they were Phallic.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

I'd say the sun but I'm not sure.

Answer 3

No one knows!  They died off before anyone could record an interview.

You can draw general conclusions about them as primitve agricultural people.  All primitive agriculturalists have similarities in their arts, including:

--art becomes a status symbol rather than a pure ritual.

--arts are dominated by depictions of humans (unlike hunter-gatherers, who depict mostly animals), and mostly either rulers or priests (shamans).

--the phallus as a symbol of the great man's power is often prominently featured.
