Postures





















In honor of Felicitas Goodman, a Hungarian-born linguist and anthropologist who explored ritual body postures found in ancient art. Her theory was that the postures were used to connect with the spirit world. At the time of reading her book I was a big fan but never was able to explore more fully. I am including these images found in the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City for any fans of her work
who might be interested
in such things. Enjoy
